Summary:
The Salisbury Township School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Salisbury Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low dropout rate and a reasonable student-teacher ratio, its academic performance as measured by PSSA test scores is generally below the state and district averages.
Salisbury Middle School's PSSA Math proficiency rates are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels, and its English Language Arts and Science proficiency rates are also lower than the district average. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, and its relatively low per-student spending may be contributing factors to its academic performance challenges.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 406 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2023-2024 to 533 out of 883 in 2021-2022, and its SchoolDigger rating is 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other schools in the state. These fluctuations suggest that the school's performance may be inconsistent or variable over time, and it could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
