Summary:
Burrell School District has only one middle school, Charles A Huston Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA proficiency rates, is consistently below the district and state averages across all subject areas. With a statewide ranking of 541 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Charles A Huston Middle School is performing in the bottom half of middle schools in the state.
The school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (39.66%) suggests it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,790 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 1.6%, which is a concern for the district and the community.
Overall, the analysis of the data for Charles A Huston Middle School in the Burrell School District reveals a school that is struggling academically, with performance well below the district and state averages. The district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and address the challenges facing the school.
