Summary

Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School is a sizable public charter school serving grades K-12 in Bethlehem, PA, with 1,847 students. The school has seen relatively stable graduation rates around 87-97% over the past few years, with dropout rates between 0-1.6%.

Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School generally outperforms the state average on PSSA and Keystone Exam proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts, with 41.9% projected proficiency in ELA across all grades compared to the state average of 48.5%. However, the school lags behind the state in math proficiency, with only 34% projected proficiency across all grades compared to 41.7% statewide. The school spends significantly more per student than the nearby Roberto Clemente Charter School and Executive Education Academy Charter School, with a lower student-teacher ratio of around 10-11 students per teacher.

While Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 52.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's relatively strong performance in ELA suggests it is effectively supporting the needs of its diverse student population. However, the school's declining math proficiency, from 31.4% in 2022-2023 to a projected 34% in 2024-2025, is an area that warrants further investigation and improvement.
