tudents

In the last 10 years, the graduation rate at Lansdowne High School has been on a general downward trend. it was as high as 94% in 1997 and as low as 72% in 2003. [Maryland Report Card [http://www.mdreportcard.org/StatDisplay.aspx?PV=26|12|03|1371|3|N|6|1|1|2|1|1|1|1|3] ] The dropout rate is about 7%, a rate that is climbing. [Maryland Report Card [http://www.mdreportcard.org/StatDisplay.aspx?PV=29|H|03|1371|3|N|6|1|1|2|1|1|1|1|3] ]

Though the student population has shown a slight increase in population over the past 15 years, but future growth should be negligible because of the school's location in an already densely populated portion of the metropolitan area.
