Camp Hill Middle School

Summary:

Camp Hill Middle School is a public middle school serving 298 students in grades 6-8 in the East Pennsboro Area School District in Pennsylvania. The school has consistently been ranked among the top middle schools in the state, with a current ranking of 102 out of 893 middle schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Camp Hill Middle School is its strong academic performance. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages on PSSA tests in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 49.7% of all students at Camp Hill Middle School were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 39.3% statewide and 58.5% in the East Pennsboro Area School District. However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with 79.19% of students identifying as White, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Susquehanna Township Middle School (18.53% White) and Marshall Math Science Academy (5.71% White). Additionally, only 22.48% of Camp Hill Middle School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much lower than nearby schools like Susquehanna Township Middle School (63.35%) and Marshall Academy (100%).

Despite these disparities, Camp Hill Middle School's exceptional performance for students with disabilities is a notable strength, with the school ranking in the top 8% of Pennsylvania middle schools in this subgroup for the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school may be a model for supporting the academic success of students with special needs. Overall, Camp Hill Middle School appears to be a high-performing school, but the district may want to explore ways to promote greater diversity and ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students in the community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
