Eastern Lebanon County Senior High School

Summary:

Eastern Lebanon County Senior High School is a public high school in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, serving 757 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Eastern Lebanon County School District, which is ranked 357 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams ranging from 53.7% in Algebra I to 56.6% in Literature. While these scores are generally higher than the state averages, they fall short of nearby high-performing schools like Warwick Senior High School and Ephrata Senior High School. Eastern Lebanon County Senior High School's overall ranking among Pennsylvania high schools has fluctuated between 189 and 364 over the past few years. The school maintains a relatively high graduation rate, ranging from 87.0% to 91.6%, but its dropout rate, while low, has been between 1.0% and 1.8%.

Interestingly, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups. Male students generally outperform female students, and Hispanic and White students show different performance levels. Students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds tend to perform lower than their peers. This suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the observed academic performance gaps. Addressing the needs of these underperforming subgroups and maintaining consistent academic achievement could be key areas for the school to focus on improving.

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.
