Summary:
Schuylkill Valley School District has one middle school, Schuylkill Valley Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 257th out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2022-2023 to 312th out of 891 in 2023-2024.
Schuylkill Valley Middle School's proficiency rates on PSSA tests have been mixed, with below-average performance in Math (32.4% vs. 40.4% state average) but above-average performance in English Language Arts (58.7% vs. 53% state average) and Science (61.7% vs. 65.8% state average). The school's dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 1.6%, which is a positive indicator. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 31.35% suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which could impact the school's resources and support systems.
With only one middle school in the Schuylkill Valley School District, there are no direct comparisons to be made within the district. The school's per-student spending of $11,684 for the 2021-2022 school year is an important metric to consider, as it may reflect the level of resources and support available to students and teachers. Further analysis of the school's trends, comparisons to similar schools or districts, and exploration of the factors influencing its performance would provide valuable insights for parents and the community.
