North Penn-Liberty Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

North Penn-Liberty Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in Liberty, Pennsylvania, with a student population of 238 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Southern Tioga School District, which is ranked 432 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Penn-Liberty has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.22%) compared to nearby schools like Wellsboro Area High School (94.31%) and Canton Junior/Senior High School (94.61%). The school also has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.1% to 94.1% over the past five years, which is on par with Canton Junior/Senior High School (94.1%) and higher than North Penn-Mansfield Junior/Senior High School (86.9%).

However, North Penn-Liberty's test scores, particularly in PSSA Math and English Language Arts, tend to be lower than the state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (30%) and PSSA ELA (46.4%) were below the state averages of 39.3% and 53.8%, respectively, in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has generally trended downward over the past decade, from a high of 329 out of 580 Pennsylvania high schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 517 out of 693 in 2018-2019. Despite these challenges, North Penn-Liberty's relatively high graduation rates and lower dropout rates suggest it is still providing a solid education to its students, though continued investment and targeted interventions may help the school improve its 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.
