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 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania high schools over the past three years, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Academy Park High School's performance is marked by several key metrics. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average of around 90%, and its dropout rate of 1.6% is better than the state average. However, the school's test scores on the Keystone Exams are significantly below the state averages across all subjects, with only 15.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 41.6%. Additionally, a very high percentage (95.13%) of students at the school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The school district's spending per student is slightly below the state average, and Academy Park High School has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.5, compared to the state average of around 15 students per teacher. These factors may contribute to the school's challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Overall, the data suggests that Academy Park High School is facing significant obstacles in improving educational outcomes for its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these issues.
