The Quakertown Community School District in Pennsylvania is home to two middle schools: Strayer Middle School and the 6th Grade Center. While both schools have their strengths, the data reveals some notable differences in their performance and characteristics.

Strayer Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 292 in 2021-2022 to 411 in 2023-2024.

However, it performs better in PSSA Science and English Language Arts, with 53.7% and 49.1% proficiency, respectively. Strayer Middle School also has a relatively high dropout rate of 1.6% in 2022-2023.

In contrast, the 6th Grade Center outperforms Strayer Middle School in PSSA Math, with 39.5% proficiency, and PSSA English Language Arts, with 50.5% proficiency. The 6th Grade Center also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 43.28%, compared to 40.32% at Strayer Middle School. Both schools have higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios compared to state averages, which may indicate a focus on resource allocation and smaller class sizes.
