Summary:
Mercer Area School District has only one middle school, Mercer Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, indicating stable performance. However, its academic proficiency on state assessments is mixed, with strengths in science but weaknesses in math compared to district and state averages.
Mercer Area Middle School has a relatively small student population of 140 and a high percentage (100%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant economic challenges for the community it serves. The school's per-student spending is $14,332, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 14:1. These factors may impact the breadth of educational opportunities and resources available to students.
Overall, Mercer Area School District has one middle school that demonstrates both strengths and areas for improvement. The school's consistent performance, mixed academic proficiency, and high economic disadvantage suggest opportunities for targeted interventions and support to enhance student outcomes.
