Summary:
Whitehall-Coplay School District is home to a single high school, Whitehall High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past three years, dropping from 231 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 401 out of 686 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during the same period.
Whitehall High School's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams falling below the state average in all three subjects (Algebra I, Biology, and Literature) for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 87.5%, and its dropout rate was 1.6%. The school district spent $17,343 per student in the 2021-2022 school year, and Whitehall High School had a student-teacher ratio of 15.9 in the 2022-2023 school year.
One notable factor is the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Whitehall High School, which stood at 84.65% in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, and the district may need to develop targeted support programs to address the unique needs of these students.
