Lenape Technical School

Lenape Technical School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Lenape Technical School district in Ford City, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 581 students, the school has faced some academic performance challenges, as evidenced by its declining statewide ranking and lower-than-average proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams.

Despite these challenges, Lenape Technical School maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%. However, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature are consistently below the Pennsylvania state averages, suggesting a need to focus on improving student outcomes in these subject areas. Additionally, with over 31% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

While Lenape Technical School faces some challenges, it also demonstrates strengths in maintaining high graduation rates and low dropout rates. Further investigation into the school's strategies and support systems could provide valuable insights to address the academic performance gaps and continue improving student outcomes.
