Summary:
Bucks County Technical High School is the sole high school located in the Bucks County Technical High School district in Pennsylvania. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams, is significantly below the state averages across all subject areas, indicating that students are struggling academically compared to their peers in other Pennsylvania high schools.
Despite the school's low rankings and academic challenges, it maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 1.6%. However, the school has a high percentage of students (45.1%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to educational success.
Overall, the data suggests that Bucks County Technical High School is an underperforming school in the state of Pennsylvania, with opportunities for improvement in academic achievement and overall school performance. The school's low rankings, academic struggles, and high percentage of students from low-income families indicate that targeted interventions and support programs may be necessary to help improve student outcomes and ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
