Conneaut Valley Middle School

Q: Is Conneaut Valley Middle School a good school?

Conneaut Valley Middle School ranks 350 th of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Conneaut Valley Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Conneaut School District in Conneautville, Pennsylvania, with a student population of 259 as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the state and district averages, it faces unique challenges that provide opportunities for improvement.

Conneaut Valley Middle School's proficiency rates in Math (38.4%) and English Language Arts (57.9%) are lower than the state and district averages, but its Science proficiency rate (65.1%) is higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools like Fairview Middle School and James W. Parker Middle School, Conneaut Valley Middle School's academic performance is weaker. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 and relatively high per-student spending of $18,977 suggest that it has the potential to improve with the right interventions and support.

One of the school's most significant challenges is its extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 100% in the current school year. This indicates that Conneaut Valley Middle School serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to its academic struggles. By learning from the practices of nearby high-performing schools and addressing the unique needs of its student population, Conneaut Valley Middle School can work towards improving student outcomes and providing a quality education for its 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.
