Summary:
Middletown Area School District has one middle school, Middletown Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past three years, with a SchoolDigger rating of 2 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance compared to other middle schools in the state.
Middletown Area Middle School's academic achievement is a concern, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts (ELA) all below the district and state averages. The school's lowest proficiency rates are in 8th grade Math (17.5%) and 7th grade Math (28.8%), which are significantly lower than the district and state averages. However, the school has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.6% and a student-teacher ratio of 12.1, which could be potential strengths to build upon.
The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 62.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the district's spending per student is higher than the state average, the school's persistent low performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes for its students.
