Summary:
The Plum Borough School District in Pennsylvania is home to two middle schools: Plum Middle School and Holiday Park Intermediate School. While both schools serve students in grades 6-8, the data analysis suggests that Holiday Park Intermediate School is a standout performer within the district.
Holiday Park Intermediate School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 61.3% of students at Holiday Park Intermediate School were proficient or better in Math, compared to 53.1% for the district and 40.4% for the state. Additionally, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.7, compared to 17.2 at Plum Middle School, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
In contrast, Plum Middle School's statewide ranking has declined from 181 in 2021-2022 to 318 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other middle schools in the state. However, both Plum Middle School and Holiday Park Intermediate School have relatively low dropout rates of 1.6% for the 2022-2023 school year, which is a positive indicator for the district.
