Summary:
The Ellwood City Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Lincoln Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 304 out of 674 schools in 2022-2023 to 534 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024, with its current ranking for 2024-2025 at 448 out of 681 schools.
Lincoln Junior/Senior High School's academic performance has been mixed, with below-average Math proficiency but above-average English Language Arts proficiency compared to state and district averages. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 87.9%, which is a positive metric, and its dropout rate for the same year was 1.4%, which is relatively low. However, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 50.81% in 2023-2024, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's resource allocation, with a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.1 and per-student spending of $17,589 for the 2022-2023 school year, the mixed academic outcomes suggest that the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its instructional strategies and resource allocation to better support its students, particularly in the area of Math proficiency.
