Summary:
The Pottsville Area School District in Pennsylvania has one middle school, Lengel Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low dropout rate, it generally performs below the district and state averages on standardized test scores.
Lengel Middle School's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Pottsville Area School District and Pennsylvania state averages across all grade levels. In PSSA Science, the school's proficiency rates are higher than the state average but lower than the district average. The school has a high percentage of students (65.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, which is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively small class size. The school district also spends $13,034 per student, which is higher than the state average. To improve student outcomes, the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support programs that address the specific needs of their student population.
