Middle Schools in Saint Marys Area School District


Summary:

The Saint Marys Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, St Marys Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 2-star rating to a 3-star rating, and its academic achievement in Math is significantly below state and district averages.

While St Marys Area Middle School's performance in English Language Arts and Science is closer to or above state and district averages, the significant gap in Math proficiency is a concern. The school serves a population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, which is generally considered favorable for student learning, the academic challenges suggest a need for targeted interventions and support.

The declining performance of St Marys Area Middle School and its academic challenges, particularly in Math, warrant further investigation. Understanding the underlying factors that contribute to these disparities and developing strategies to improve student outcomes should be a priority for the school and the district. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population may also be a key factor in improving the school's overall performance.
