Northern Lebanon Senior High School has faced academic challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 369 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024 to 486 out of 674 schools in 2022-2023, both with a 2-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA and Keystone Exam scores, is generally below the state and district averages, with some exceptions in 8th-grade math and 11th-grade literature proficiency. The school's four-year graduation rate is 87.9%, and its dropout rate is 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,950 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.5, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, the high percentage of students (40.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic outcomes. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's performance and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
