Summary:
The Muhlenberg School District in Pennsylvania is home to two middle schools: Muhlenberg Junior High School and C E Cole Intermediate School. Both schools have consistently performed below the state average on various academic metrics, indicating significant challenges within the district.
Muhlenberg Junior High School has been ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools for the past three school years, with rankings ranging from 624 to 650 out of 891 to 893 schools. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 19.4% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math compared to the state average of 40.4%. C E Cole Intermediate School's performance is slightly better, but still well below the state averages.
Both schools have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. The relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggest that the district may not be effectively allocating its resources to support student learning and achievement. The lack of improvement in Muhlenberg Junior High School's rankings over the past three years further highlights the need for the district to address the underlying issues and implement strategies to improve academic outcomes for its middle school students.
