High Schools in Lehighton Area School District

Lehighton Area School District is home to a single high school, Lehighton Area High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly white student population, with a relatively diverse mix of Hispanic and African American students. While the school's graduation and dropout rates are strong, its academic performance on the Keystone Exams is mixed compared to district and state averages, particularly in Algebra I.

Lehighton Area High School faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 50% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school community may need additional support and resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, indicating a focus on providing ample resources.

Overall, Lehighton Area School District and its lone high school have room for improvement, particularly in the area of academic achievement. The school's leadership and the district may need to explore strategies to enhance student learning, especially in mathematics, and provide targeted support to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the school community.
