Kane Area Middle School

Summary:

Kane Area Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Kane, Pennsylvania, with a total enrollment of 222 students. The school is part of the Kane Area School District, which is ranked 252 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Kane Area Middle School performs better than the state average in some subject areas, such as Science and English Language Arts, it lags behind in Math, with only 30.7% of students proficient or better. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.95%) compared to the state average, and a high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of low-income students. Interestingly, the nearby Ridgway Area Middle School outperforms Kane Area Middle School in Math and English Language Arts PSSA test scores, and has a higher statewide ranking.

Over the past few years, Kane Area Middle School's statewide ranking has declined, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in Pennsylvania. To address these challenges, the school may need to focus on supporting the academic needs of specific subgroups, such as white and disabled students, and exploring strategies to support the high-poverty student population. Despite these challenges, the school's low dropout rate and steady increase in spending per student are positive indicators that the school is committed to improving the educational experience for its students.

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.
