Interboro Senior High School

Summary:

Interboro Senior High School is a public high school located in Prospect Park, Pennsylvania, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,028 students. The school is part of the Interboro School District, which is ranked 361 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interboro Senior High School has had a mixed academic performance in recent years. While the school's statewide ranking has declined, from 61st out of 537 Pennsylvania high schools in 2020-2021 to 416th out of 686 in 2023-2024, its performance on Keystone Exams has been relatively strong, with 66.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Literature in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 63.2%. The school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.0% to 92.4% in recent years, and a low dropout rate, ranging from 0.7% to 1.6%. However, Interboro Senior High School has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.77% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, compared to nearby schools like Strath Haven High School (16.82%) and Springfield High School (21.67%).

Interboro Senior High School's performance is generally lower than the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Strath Haven High School and Springfield High School, which are ranked among the top 5% and 10% of Pennsylvania high schools, respectively. These schools have significantly higher academic achievement, with over 90% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Literature, compared to Interboro's 66.3%. However, Interboro Senior High School has shown some strengths in its subgroup performance, with its African American students ranking 51st out of 284 Pennsylvania high schools in 2023-2024, with a 4-star rating. To improve the school's overall performance, the district may need to focus on addressing the needs of its diverse student population, particularly the Asian and Hispanic students, and exploring ways to more effectively utilize its higher per-student spending of $18,605 in 2021-2022 to drive better academic outcomes.

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.
