Lehigh Career & Technical Institute operates 1 public schools serving 33 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 22 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is geographically located in Lehigh County County.
The funding mix is 76.1% local, 17.9% state, and 6.0% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration.
a 4.4:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 100.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.3% White, 13.6% Hispanic or Latino, 4.5% African American across the district's schools.
Lehigh Career & Technical Institute accounts for 100.0% of all Lehigh Career & Technical Institute student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Lehigh Career & Technical Institute-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Lehigh Career & Technical Institute has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 97.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Lehigh Career & Technical Institute student-counselor ratio is 4:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Lehigh Career & Technical Institute chronic absenteeism rate is 100.0% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
