Summary:
The Midland Borough School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Midland El/Middle School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance has been declining over the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking that has dropped from 986 in 2021-2022 to 1123 in the current 2023-2024 school year.
Midland El/Middle School's academic proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly below the state averages, with only 17.5% of students proficient in Math and 40.5% proficient in ELA, compared to the state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. The school also has a high dropout rate of 1.6% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 57.35%, indicating a high-poverty student population.
Despite the relatively high spending of $19,828 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 11.9, the school's academic performance remains below state standards. This suggests that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes at Midland El/Middle School. The school's declining performance and significant gaps in academic proficiency compared to the state averages highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to help the school and its students succeed.
