Twin Valley High School

Q: Is Twin Valley High School a good school?

Twin Valley High School ranks 242 nd of 674 Pennsylvania high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Twin Valley High School is a public high school located in Elverson, Pennsylvania, serving 1,023 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Eastern Lancaster County School District, which is ranked 112 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Twin Valley High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (86.71%) compared to nearby schools like Downingtown High School West Campus (80.98% white) and Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School (61.37% white), the school has shown strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams that exceed state averages. Additionally, Twin Valley High School maintains consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 91.4% to 97.2% over the past five years, and very low dropout rates, significantly lower than the state average and surrounding schools.

However, when compared to some of the top-performing schools in the area, such as Downingtown STEM Academy and Garden Spot Senior High School, Twin Valley High School may have room for improvement, particularly in supporting students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, where the school's rankings are lower. Overall, Twin Valley High School is a solid-performing public high school, but it could potentially enhance its educational offerings and support for all student subgroups to reach the level of excellence demonstrated by some of its neighboring institutions.

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.
