Summary:
The Reading School District in Pennsylvania is home to 5 middle schools serving grades 6-8. The data reveals a concerning picture, with the middle schools in this district consistently underperforming compared to state averages in both math and English language arts proficiency.
Northeast Middle School stands out as the highest-performing middle school in the district, ranking 758th out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools and outperforming the district and state averages in both subject areas. In contrast, Northwest Middle School performed better than the district average in math proficiency, but all other middle schools struggled to meet state standards.
The data also highlights significant equity concerns, with all middle schools in the district having 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the $0 spending per student and relatively high student-teacher ratios suggest a lack of adequate funding and resources, which may be contributing to the consistently low academic performance observed across the middle schools in the Reading School District.
