Red Land Senior High School

Summary:

Red Land Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, part of the West Shore School District. With a student population of 1,101, the school has a predominantly White student body (88.37% in 2022-2023) and consistently ranks among the top high schools in Pennsylvania.

Red Land Senior High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students significantly outperforming state and district averages on Keystone Exams. In 2022-2023, 76.2% of students were proficient or better in Literature, 62% in Biology, and 55.6% in Algebra I. The school's 4-year graduation rate is an impressive 92.2%, and its dropout rate is very low, ranging from 0.1% to 1.1% over the past few years. Compared to nearby schools like Cedar Cliff High School, Red Land's academic metrics are significantly higher.

While Red Land's student population is predominantly White, some nearby schools, such as Susquehanna Township High School and Harrisburg High School, have much more diverse student bodies with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students. However, these schools generally lag behind Red Land in academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond racial composition may be contributing to the school's success. Additionally, Red Land's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to nearby schools, indicates that it serves a more affluent student population, which may also contribute to its strong 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.
