Fannett-Metal Middle School

Summary:

Fannett-Metal Middle School is a small public middle school in Willow Hill, Pennsylvania, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of just 82 students. The school is part of the Fannett-Metal School District, which is ranked 335 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

While Fannett-Metal Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.9, which may allow for more personalized attention, the school faces several challenges. Its test scores are consistently lower than the surrounding schools, particularly in Math and Science, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of white students (98.78%) compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like James Buchanan Middle School and Chambersburg Area Middle School - South. Additionally, Fannett-Metal Middle School has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to other middle schools in the region, Fannett-Metal Middle School stands out for its lower academic performance, lack of racial diversity, and high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio may be an advantage, these factors alone do not appear to be enough to overcome the challenges the school faces. Addressing these issues and improving student outcomes should be a priority for the school and the Fannett-Metal School District.

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.
