Summary:
There is only one middle school in the Pleasant Valley School District in Pennsylvania - Pleasant Valley Middle School. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, going from 315 out of 883 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2021-2022 to 421 out of 891 in 2023-2024. While the school's English Language Arts and science proficiency are close to state and district averages, its math proficiency lags behind.
Pleasant Valley Middle School faces some demographic and socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage (50.53%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.4 is slightly higher than the state average, which may impact the quality of individual attention and support students receive.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $25,200 for the 2021-2022 school year, the school's declining performance and uneven academic results suggest the need for a comprehensive approach to address these issues. Investigating the school's resource allocation and targeting interventions to support the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be potential areas for improvement.
