Summary:

Frazier Middle School is a public middle school located in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania, serving around 240 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Frazier School District, which is ranked 424 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frazier Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.75%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in Math (26.6%) and English Language Arts (53%) below the state averages. However, the school has maintained a very low dropout rate, and its spending per student ($19,122 in 2021-2022) is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, which may indicate more individualized attention for students.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Lafayette Middle School, Connellsville Area Middle School, and California Area Middle School, Frazier Middle School's academic performance is generally lower, particularly in Math and Science. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum and instructional strategies to better support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (47.08%) indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact academic performance and require targeted interventions and support.

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.
