About Price

Price is a public high school in Hummelstown, PA, part of Lower Dauphin SD. Price serves approximately 14 students, and covers grades 6th-12th, and has a 7:1 student-teacher ratio. MySchoolScout does not publish a rating for this profile because there is not enough verified data to rate it fairly.

Structured state assessment records for Price show 25% math proficiency (multi-year average, 2014-2021) and 25% reading/ELA proficiency (multi-year average, 2014-2019). Based on limited data: 0% component coverage.

What Parents Should Know

At 14 students, Price is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 7:1 students to teachers, Price sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

57% of students at Price were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average. Chronic absenteeism means missing 15 or more school days, and at high rates it drags on classroom pacing for everyone. Ask what the school does to help families get kids to class consistently.

Why doesn't this school have a score?

We don't have enough verified data to rate this school fairly. This can happen when a school is very new, very small, or has limited test score reporting to the state.

Our rating model requires at least 2 of 4 data components (academics, student progress, college readiness, and resources) to generate a meaningful score. Schools below this threshold receive a Limited Profile to avoid misleading ratings.
