Lake-Noxen Elementary School

Summary:

Lake-Noxen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 239 students in grades K-6 in the Lake-Lehman School District in Lehman, Pennsylvania. The school has a predominantly White student population, with 92.05% of students identifying as White in the 2022-2023 school year.

Lake-Noxen Elementary School consistently outperforms the state and district averages on PSSA tests, with 48.2% of students proficient or better in Math and an impressive 84.4% proficiency rate in Science, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $20,100 in the 2021-2022 school year, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. When compared to nearby schools, such as Dr David W Kistler Elementary School and Dana Elementary Center, Lake-Noxen Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Math and Science.

Despite the school's academic success, it faces some challenges. Nearly half (45.19%) of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White, with a decreasing percentage of Hispanic students over the past three years, which may suggest a lack of racial diversity that could be an area for the school to consider addressing.

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.

Open Quote Dedicated staff, wonderful principal. My four children had a great experience there. Close Quote

Open Quote I would give zero if possible. Teachers consider it adequate for students to fail tests give point just for turning in homework so it appears as though the student is passing. When parents try to communication, responses are blunt and belittling and questions are unanswered. 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.
