Summary:
The Easton Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Easton Area High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data suggests that Easton Area High School is a relatively low-performing school within the state, with declining rankings, low test scores, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Easton Area High School's statewide ranking has dropped significantly over the past few years, going from 400 out of 634 high schools in 2021-2022 to 519 out of 686 high schools in 2023-2024. The school's performance on the Keystone Exams is well below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.6% to 44.9% across the three subject areas, compared to state averages of 41.6% to 63.2%. Additionally, the school is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Despite the Easton Area School District spending more per student ($16,765) than the state average, the school's academic performance remains below average. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the district's spending and the need to evaluate how resources are being allocated to support student learning. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (91.6%) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.
