Summary:

Conneaut Lake Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Conneaut School District in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, with a student population of 298 and a student-teacher ratio of 11:1. The school consistently outperforms state and district averages on PSSA assessments, particularly in Math, Science, and English Language Arts, despite having a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Conneaut Lake Middle School's academic performance is noteworthy, with its 6th-grade PSSA Math proficiency rate (54.4%) significantly exceeding both the district (45.3%) and state (36.4%) averages. The school's overall PSSA Science proficiency rate (62%) is also higher than the state average (65.6%). This consistent academic success is reflected in the school's 3- or 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating a stable and effective educational environment.

While Conneaut Lake Middle School serves a predominantly white student population, with over 96% of students identifying as white, the school has been able to effectively support its economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by their strong performance relative to other Pennsylvania middle schools serving similar populations. This suggests that the school has implemented strategies and resources to address the unique needs of its low-income students, enabling them to achieve academic success. However, the lack of racial and ethnic diversity within the student population may be an area for potential improvement in the future.

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.
