Summary:
Lenape Technical School is the sole high school serving the Ford City, Pennsylvania area, providing education for grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 593 students. While the school's graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, its dropout rate of 1.4% is lower than the state norm. However, Lenape Technical School's academic performance, as measured by Keystone Exam proficiency rates, lags behind state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature.
The school faces challenges related to the economic disadvantage of its student population, with 45.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's lower test scores compared to the state. Additionally, Lenape Technical School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 400th out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 482nd out of 681 in 2024-2025, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes.
Despite these challenges, the data indicates that Lenape Technical School has room for improvement. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.8, slightly higher than the state average, the school may be able to leverage its resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and work towards improving its academic performance and statewide ranking within the Lenape Technical School district.
