Lehman Intermediate School

Summary:

Lehman Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 603 students. The school is part of the East Stroudsburg Area School District, which is ranked 445 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lehman Intermediate School has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby J.T. Lambert Intermediate School and Delaware Valley Middle School, with a racial makeup of 32.5% White, 23.55% African American, 26.2% Hispanic, and 11.94% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in Math (14.6%), Science (48.6%), and English Language Arts (49.1%) all below the state and district averages.

Lehman Intermediate School's performance for specific student subgroups varies, with the school ranking higher for African American (142 out of 421 PA middle schools) and Hispanic (163 out of 362 PA middle schools) students compared to White students (505 out of 681 PA middle schools) and students with low socioeconomic status (505 out of 874 PA middle schools). The school has a higher spending per student compared to the nearby schools, with $22,940 spent per student in the 2021-2022 school year, but this higher spending does not appear to be directly correlated with better academic outcomes. The school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of its diverse student body and optimizing the use of its resources to drive improved student performance.

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.
