Summary:
The Littlestown Area School District in Pennsylvania has one middle school, Maple Avenue Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a low dropout rate and relatively high science proficiency, it faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in math and English language arts.
Maple Avenue Middle School's math and English language arts proficiency rates lag behind the district and state averages, with only 19.3% of 8th graders proficient in math and 47.9% proficient in English language arts. However, the school's science proficiency rates are higher than the state average, with 63.1% of 8th graders proficient or better. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated in recent years, suggesting inconsistent performance.
Despite the academic performance challenges, Maple Avenue Middle School has a relatively high per-student spending of $24,320 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, indicating access to significant resources. The school's demographic makeup, with a majority White student population and a high percentage of students from low-income families, may be an important factor to consider in understanding its performance and the needs of its student population. Overall, the data suggests that Maple Avenue Middle School has room for improvement, particularly in core academic areas, and could benefit from targeted interventions and support to enhance student learning outcomes.
