Best Middle Schools in Pennsylvania for Hispanic Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Pennsylvania!

Every year, the Pennsylvania Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Hispanic students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

JUST IN! Pennsylvania PSSA test scores and updated rankings for the 2023-24 school year were recently posted to SchoolDigger!

Year after year, SchoolDigger is always the first to publish Pennsylvania test scores and rankings. Other sites use stale test score data that are several years old! Be in the know with the very latest performance metrics.
