Summary:
The West Mifflin Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, West Mifflin Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been consistently below the state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts lagging behind the Pennsylvania scores.
West Mifflin Area Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 502 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2023-2024 to 563 out of 893 in 2022-2023. The school's dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 1.6%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students receiving this benefit in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $12,059, which is higher than the state average, but it is unclear if these resources are being effectively allocated to address the academic needs of the students. Without comparative data from other schools in the district or similar districts, it is difficult to make a comprehensive assessment of the school's performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
