Summary:
The city of Fredericktown, Pennsylvania is home to three schools serving grades K-12: Bethlehem-Center Elementary School, Bethlehem-Center Senior High School, and Bethlehem-Center Middle School, all part of the Bethlehem-Center School District. While the elementary school stands out for its strong academic performance, the middle and high schools face unique challenges that require further attention.
Bethlehem-Center Elementary School is a standout performer, consistently earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and exceeding state averages in PSSA Math, English Language Arts, and Science tests. In contrast, Bethlehem-Center Middle School struggles with PSSA Math proficiency, with rates well below the state average, and has received 1- and 2-star ratings in recent years, indicating room for improvement.
At the high school level, Bethlehem-Center Senior High School stands out for its impressive 94.1% 4-year graduation rate and low 1.3% dropout rate, both significantly better than state averages. However, the school faces challenges in Keystone Exams for Algebra I and Biology, with proficiency rates lagging behind state benchmarks. Additionally, the district's socioeconomic disparities are evident, with the middle and elementary schools serving a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the high school.
