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.

Fantastic opportunities here for students who wish to work to succeed. Dual enrollment, CHS, AP... graduates go on to Penn, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, anywhere is within reach from this school! Close Quote

by a parent
Tuesday, January 26, 2016

Awful administrative team - my child, who had never been in any type of trouble, made a minor mistake that was blown out of proportion. When I went to meet with the assistant principal, I was told he was following the school's policy in administering the penalty and his judgement was not involved (?). I then attempted to reason with the principal, who was not kind or compassionate at all, and continued to quote policy.

My final step was to seek out the assistant superintendent, who did not disagree with the fact that the discipline given to my child was over the top. He simply said they would be evaluating such situations over the summer. The ultimate putoff. What a group of caring and nurturing individuals!

By the way, my child couldn't even tell you what the principal looks like at this high school.

Bottom line - this school is scared of becoming an urban high school and therefore runs the institution like a prison.

If you are considering moving into this district - don't. I made this mistake a number of years ago and have regretted it ever since. Cumberland Valley, Hershey, Lower Dauphin, Boiling Springs, Mechanicsburg and Palmyra would be much better places.

Yes, we have moved out of the district and are much happier in our new location just down the road.

Extremely disappointed former parent Close Quote

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.
