Summary:
The Belle Vernon Area Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Belle Vernon Area School District in Pennsylvania. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, its academic performance presents a mixed picture, with strengths in Science proficiency but challenges in Math and English Language Arts compared to district and state averages.
The school's Science proficiency rate of 60.4% exceeds the state average of 65.8%, indicating a relative strength in this subject area. However, the school's Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates of 29.1% and 59%, respectively, fall below the district and state averages. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving instruction and support in these core academic subjects.
Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 46.11% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic factor may impact student learning and achievement, and the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,539 may be an effort to address these challenges. Overall, the data provides a nuanced understanding of the school's performance and the unique circumstances it navigates to support student success.
