Annville-Cleona High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 152 out of 680 Pennsylvania high schools in 2014-2015 (4-star rating) to 393 out of 686 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with lower outcomes for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those with disabilities. Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Hershey High School and Palmyra Area Senior High School, Annville-Cleona High School lags behind, but it outperforms some other local schools such as Lebanon Senior High School and Northern Lebanon Senior High School.

The school's increased spending per student, from $17,181 in 2019-2020 to $21,259 in 2021-2022, may indicate a commitment to improving educational resources and opportunities. However, the impact on student outcomes remains to be seen, as the school's performance has been inconsistent. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (27.2% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to the school's lower performance compared to higher-income districts, as research has shown a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
