Summary

Line Mountain High School is a public high school located in Herndon, Pennsylvania, serving 334 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Line Mountain School District, which is ranked 316 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Line Mountain High School is its strong academic performance, particularly on Keystone Exams. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state average in Algebra I (65.8% vs. 34.1%), Biology (68.8% vs. 50.7%), and Literature (85.1% vs. 65.3%). This trend continued in the following years, with the school consistently outperforming the state in these subject areas. Additionally, the school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.5% to 97.6% over the past few years, which is comparable to or higher than the nearby schools, such as Selinsgrove Area High School and Midd-West High School.

Another notable aspect of Line Mountain High School is its focus on supporting diverse student populations. The school's female students and low socioeconomic status students have consistently ranked in the top 30% and top 10%, respectively, among Pennsylvania high schools in recent years. However, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 39th out of 674 schools in 2022-2023 (5-star rating) to 330th out of 634 schools in 2021-2022 (2-star rating), suggesting that factors beyond just academic achievement may influence the school's performance. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has increased from 27.96% in 2021-2022 to 42.22% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families.
