Summary:
The Wyoming Valley West Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Wyoming Valley West School District in Pennsylvania. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with a performance rating of just 1 out of 5 stars, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other middle schools in the state.
Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates in PSSA tests well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 10.3% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 40.4%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA English Language Arts (37.4%) and Science (40.1%) are significantly lower than the state averages (53% and 65.8%, respectively). However, the school's dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low compared to the state average.
The data suggests that Wyoming Valley West Middle School faces significant challenges in serving its student population, which has a high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.5, the school's persistent struggles with academic achievement suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes and better serve the community.
