DuBois Area Middle School

Summary:

DuBois Area Middle School is a public middle school in DuBois, Pennsylvania, serving 1,062 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the DuBois Area School District, which is ranked 236 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, DuBois Area Middle School has shown a mixed performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school's science proficiency rates exceed both the district and state, its math and English Language Arts proficiency rates are slightly below the district and state averages. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students and multi-racial students performing better than their male and white counterparts. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the observed variability in academic performance.

Despite these challenges, DuBois Area Middle School has seen an increase in per-student spending and a decrease in student-teacher ratio, suggesting a potential increase in resources and support for students. The school's strong science performance and the district's overall ranking indicate that there are opportunities for the school to develop targeted strategies and interventions to address the unique needs of its diverse student population and ensure consistent academic growth across all subject areas and grade levels.

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.
