LTHS's CTC Program Receives Accolades

  

Loyalsock Township High School's Career and Technical School, Lyco CTC, recently received some exciting student performance data from the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE).  Of the ninety-seven (97) schools in Pennsylvania that are classified as Career and Technology Centers or Comprehensive High Schools,  PDE collects data on many indicators but the focus is primarily on three key areas – PSSA Reading, PSSA Math and NOCTI (occupation competency evaluation) success.  State-wide, performance levels of Pennsylvania’s Career and Technology students in these key indicators have been improving, but the students of LycoCTC have outpaced even the impressive statewide gains of our peers.   Performance data includes

• LycoCTC students ranked 15^th out of 97 schools in PSSA Reading scores.
• LycoCTC students ranked 5^th out of 97 in PSSA Math scores.
• LycoCTC students ranked 4^th out of 97 in NOCTI performance.

Only one technical school in the state, State College Area High School, out-performed the Lycoming Career and Technology Center in all three key areas.  These results are indicative of the amazing experiences Loyalsock students are receiving through our association with Lyco CTC.  We look forward to more students finding this program as worthy and definitely able to send our students out into the world college and career ready with strong academic and technical skills. We are proud of Lyco CTC's efforts and congratulate them and our own Loyalsock students for being a vital part of these amazing results!
