Summary:
The Juniata County School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Tuscarora Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending above the state average, its academic performance, as measured by PSSA proficiency rates, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in Math.
Tuscarora Middle School has a student population of 312, with a racial makeup of 83.33% White and 15.06% Hispanic. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently standing at 517 out of 893 middle schools in Pennsylvania. With a dropout rate of 0.0%, the school is performing well in this metric, but it faces challenges in supporting its economically disadvantaged student population, with 51.28% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
While the school's resources and low student-teacher ratio suggest a solid foundation, the data indicates that Tuscarora Middle School needs to focus on improving its academic performance, particularly in Math, and exploring strategies to better support its economically disadvantaged students. As the only middle school in the Juniata County School District, the performance of this school is crucial for the educational outcomes of the community.
