Middletown Area School District

The Middletown Area School District in Pennsylvania consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves students from the Middletown area and surrounding communities.

Among the standout schools in the district, Kunkel Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages on PSSA test scores, particularly in math and science. It has the highest percentage of students proficient or better in these subjects across all grade levels and the highest school-wide ranking within the district, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Robert Reid Elementary School also demonstrates solid academic results, especially in math and science, with its 3rd and 4th grade scores notably higher than the district and state averages.

However, the performance at the secondary level is an area of concern. Middletown Area Middle School struggles with PSSA math proficiency, with only 17.5% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better. At the high school level, Middletown Area High School has Keystone Exam proficiency rates ranging from 39.6% to 53.8% across the different subject areas. The district also has a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 48% to 73.89% across the schools, indicating a need for additional resources and support to address potential barriers to learning.
