Summary:
Gateway School District in Pennsylvania has one middle school, Moss Side Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with 46.19% White, 29.2% African American, 4.98% Hispanic, 7.63% Asian, and 11.8% two or more races. While Moss Side Middle School's overall academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is mixed compared to the district and state averages, the school's performance in specific grade levels and subject areas varies.
Moss Side Middle School has a low dropout rate of 0.3% and a relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.1. However, the school faces challenges, such as lower-than-average math proficiency rates compared to the Gateway School District and Pennsylvania state average. On the other hand, the school's science and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are higher than the state average, though still lower than the district average.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from families with limited financial resources. Despite these challenges, Moss Side Middle School's diverse student population and relatively small class sizes may provide opportunities for more individualized attention and support, which could positively impact student academic and social-emotional development.
