Summary:
The Mid Valley School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Mid Valley Elementary Center and Mid Valley Secondary Center. While the secondary school is performing relatively well, with a high graduation rate and strong test scores, the elementary school is struggling to meet state standards, ranking among the lowest in the state.
The Mid Valley Elementary Center has a high percentage of students from diverse racial backgrounds, with 25.14% non-white students. However, the school's PSSA Math and ELA proficiency rates are significantly below the state averages, ranging from 29.6% to 54.3% proficient. In contrast, the Mid Valley Secondary Center outperforms the state average on Keystone Exams in Biology and Literature, and has a high 91.3% four-year graduation rate.
Both schools in the Mid Valley School District have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the academic challenges observed, and the district should consider strategies to address the needs of these students, as well as investigate the factors contributing to the performance gap between the elementary and secondary schools.
