Lake-Lehman Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Lake-Lehman Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Lehman, Pennsylvania, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 739, predominantly White (around 95%).

Academically, the school performs in the middle range of Pennsylvania high schools, with standardized test scores below the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, but a very high graduation rate above 95%. The school's performance on Keystone Exams in Literature is stronger, with around 70% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 65%. However, the school struggles to support its subgroups of students, with low rankings for White students, low-income students, and students with disabilities compared to other Pennsylvania high schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Lake-Lehman Junior/Senior High School generally outperforms many in the region, but some schools like Dallas Senior High School significantly outperform it in academic measures. The Wilkes-Barre Area School District STEM Academy stands out as an exceptional performer, ranking among the top 3-7 high schools in the state. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is still below the state average, indicating that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
