Summary:
The Ellwood City Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Lincoln Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school has some areas of strong academic performance, it also faces challenges in mathematics and has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
Lincoln Junior/Senior High School's performance on PSSA Science and English Language Arts exams has been above the state averages, but its proficiency rates in PSSA Math and Keystone Algebra I are significantly lower than the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 181 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 534 out of 686 in 2023-2024, indicating a need for improvement. However, the school's graduation rate is slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate is relatively low, suggesting that the school is generally successful in retaining and supporting its students.
The Ellwood City Area School District spends more per student than the state average, and the school has a lower student-teacher ratio, indicating that significant resources are being allocated to support the school and its students. Despite these investments, the academic performance data suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies, particularly in the area of mathematics instruction and student support, to improve its overall performance and statewide ranking.
