Lehigh Career and Technical Institute

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Lehigh Career & Technical Institute (LCTI) is a small public high school in Schnecksville, PA, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Lehigh Career & Technical Institute District. With just 33 students, LCTI stands out from the surrounding schools in several key ways.

LCTI has a significantly higher percentage of white students (81.82%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to be more diverse. The school's test scores are also generally lower than state averages, with only 13.3% of 11th-graders proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 34.1% statewide. However, LCTI's Literature scores are closer to the state average. Notably, LCTI has an extremely high percentage of students (96.97%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the 25.4% to 97.27% range of nearby schools. Despite this, LCTI has a very low student-teacher ratio of 0.3, much lower than the 10.9 to 20.1 range of nearby schools.

LCTI's performance has declined over the years, dropping from 539 out of 649 Pennsylvania high schools in 2009-2010 to 477 out of 674 in 2022-2023. Compared to Building 21 Allentown, Louis E Dieruff High School, and other nearby schools, LCTI stands out as serving a unique population with different needs and challenges. Addressing these factors could help improve the school's academic outcomes and better prepare its students for success.
