Summary:
The Apollo-Ridge School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Apollo-Ridge Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 431 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2023-2024 to 509 out of 883 in 2021-2022.
Academically, Apollo-Ridge Middle School's proficiency rates in math, science, and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally below the state averages in Pennsylvania. However, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 61% is higher than the state average of 54.5%. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has improved from 2 stars to 3 stars out of 5 for the 2023-2024 school year.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance. Apollo-Ridge Middle School has a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The district's per-student spending is higher than the state average, but it is unclear how effectively these funds are being utilized to support student learning and development. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low dropout rate of 1.6% for the 2022-2023 school year is a positive indicator.
