Summary:
The Lackawanna Trail School District has only one high school, Lackawanna Trail Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 222 and 450 out of 681-686 Pennsylvania high schools over the past three school years, and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5 during the same period.
Academically, Lackawanna Trail Junior/Senior High School has had mixed results, with proficiency rates in PSSA/Math and PSSA/English Language Arts below the district and state averages for all grades, 7th grade, and 8th grade in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's proficiency rates in Keystone Exams/Algebra I, Keystone Exams/Biology, and Keystone Exams/Literature for 11th grade were more varied, with some above and some below the district and state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 87.9%, slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate for the same year was a relatively low 1.4%.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it appears to have relatively high per-student spending of $23,502 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 10 students per teacher for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 50.12% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact academic performance.
