Summary:
The New Brighton Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, New Brighton Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently performed below the state average in academic proficiency across multiple subjects, ranking 500 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,723, its academic performance remains a concern, with proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts falling below the state averages. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100%, suggests that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the school's lower academic outcomes.
While the school's lower student-to-teacher ratio of 11.2 could be an asset, the district and school leadership will need to explore ways to effectively leverage this resource and implement targeted interventions to address the ongoing challenges and improve student learning outcomes at New Brighton Area Middle School.
