Summary:
The Chichester School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Chichester Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance data suggests it is an underperforming institution, ranking 596 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Chichester Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on standardized tests falling well below the state average in math and science. For example, only 6.8% of 6th-grade students and 35.6% of 5th-grade students demonstrated proficiency in math, while the school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate was just 41.5%. The school's ELA proficiency rates are closer to the state average, but still lag behind in several grade levels.
Additionally, Chichester Middle School faces challenges related to its high poverty rates, with 99.89% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic struggles and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of these students. Despite the school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.6, this has not translated into better academic outcomes for the students. The school's declining performance and rankings over the past three years suggest the need for significant improvements to reverse this trend and better serve the students in the Chichester School District.
