Summary:
The Ringgold School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Ringgold Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Ringgold Middle School is performing below average compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking 605 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ringgold Middle School faces several challenges, including a higher-than-average dropout rate of 1.6% and significantly lower test scores than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.2% of students were proficient or better in PSSA/Math for all grades, compared to the state average of 40.4%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite spending more per student ($12,946) than the state average, Ringgold Middle School's performance has been steadily declining over the past three school years, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve the school's performance. The data suggests that other factors, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may also play a role in the school's struggles to keep up with the performance of other middle schools in the state.
