Middle Schools in Pine Grove Area School District


Summary:

The Pine Grove Area Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Pine Grove Area School District in Pennsylvania. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9, its academic performance, as measured by PSSA proficiency rates, is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.

The school's overall ranking of 520 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools and its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that it is facing some challenges. The school's dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low, but its proficiency rates range from 15.9% to 44.7% in Math, 56.1% in Science, and 27.6% to 45.6% in English Language Arts across different grade levels, all of which are below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 39.75%, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,928, the data suggests that the district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and spending decisions to better support student learning and achievement at Pine Grove Area Middle School. Further investigation into the root causes of the school's academic challenges and strategies for improvement could be beneficial for the school and the broader Pine Grove Area School District.
