Summary:

The 18508 zip code area in Scranton, Pennsylvania is home to two high schools: Scranton High School and Career Technology Center of Lackawanna County. Scranton High School is the larger of the two, with an enrollment of 1,819 students, while the Career Technology Center has only 15 students enrolled.

Scranton High School appears to be performing better than the overall Scranton School District and the state of Pennsylvania in several academic areas, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school lags behind in math proficiency, which could be an area for improvement. Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with Scranton High School having an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (99.78%).

The significant difference in enrollment between the two schools is noteworthy, as is the unusually high free/reduced lunch rate of 5,626.67% at the Career Technology Center of Lackawanna County. The Career Technology Center's student-teacher ratio of 0.5 is remarkably low, suggesting a highly personalized learning environment, but the small enrollment may raise questions about the school's overall viability and sustainability.
