Conrad Weiser Middle School

Summary:

Conrad Weiser Middle School is a public middle school located in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, serving 717 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Conrad Weiser Area School District, which is ranked 303 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Conrad Weiser Middle School generally performs better academically than nearby schools, with higher PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates compared to the Pennsylvania state averages. The school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups also perform relatively well, ranking in the top 25% and top 35% of Pennsylvania middle schools, respectively. Additionally, Conrad Weiser Middle School has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for several years, significantly lower than the nearby schools. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 253 out of 728 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2013-2014 to 404 out of 893 in 2022-2023, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Cocalico Middle School and West Reading Elementary Center, Conrad Weiser Middle School stands out as a relatively high-performing institution, particularly in terms of academic achievement, dropout rates, and student-teacher ratios. However, the school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (41.7% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes.

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.
