Summary:
The Susquehanna Township School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Susquehanna Township Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with a ranking of 645 out of 891 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Susquehanna Township Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's Math proficiency rate for all grades was 12.2%, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school's performance has remained consistently low over the past few years, with little improvement observed.
Despite the school district spending $18,377 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.1, the academic outcomes at Susquehanna Township Middle School remain poor. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.35% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. These factors suggest that the school's challenges are multifaceted and may require a comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
