Camp Hill Middle School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state averages on the PSSA exams across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 71.5% of students were proficient or advanced in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53%. The school also performs particularly well for female and white students, ranking in the top 15% and top 20% of Pennsylvania middle schools respectively in these subgroups. Additionally, Camp Hill Middle School has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0-1.6% over the past few years, which is significantly better than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Susquehanna Township Middle School and the schools in the Harrisburg City School District, Camp Hill Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, with proficiency rates 20-50 percentage points higher on state assessments. This difference is likely due in part to the school's relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch (around 22%), compared to the nearby Harrisburg City schools which have over 60% of students in this category. Camp Hill Middle School's investment in resources, including a low student-teacher ratio of around 11:1, also contributes to its consistent success.

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.
