Summary:
The Southeast Delco School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Academy Park High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low performance compared to state averages across key metrics.
Academy Park High School has a four-year graduation rate of 87.9%, which is lower than the state average. The school also has a higher dropout rate of 1.4% compared to the state. On the Keystone Exams, the school's performance is significantly below state averages, with only 18.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 44.3%. Additionally, 100% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the district spending $11,031 per student, which is slightly higher than the state average, and having a student-teacher ratio of 16.2, which is also slightly higher than the state, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania high schools over the past three school years. This suggests that the school district may not be effectively allocating resources to support student learning and achievement, and that targeted interventions and community-based support may be necessary to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
