Summary:
The Armstrong School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, West Hills Intermediate School. This school serves a high-poverty student population, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate. While the school's math and science proficiency rates are on par with or slightly below district and state averages, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are notably lower, particularly in the lower grades.
One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional science performance, with over 80% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school faces challenges in ELA, where proficiency rates are lower than the district and state. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, which may be a reflection of the high-poverty student population and the need for additional resources and support.
Despite the challenges, West Hills Intermediate School benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, suggesting that students may receive more individualized attention and support. Overall, the data provides a nuanced picture of the school's performance, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement as the district works to support the academic success of its students.
