Middleburg Elementary School

Summary:

Middleburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 555 students in grades K-5 in the rural Midd-West School District in Middleburg, Pennsylvania. The school has a predominantly white student body, with over 96% of students identifying as white, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Middleburg Elementary School has consistently performed above the state average in PSSA test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates higher than the state averages in Math (48.8% vs. 39.3%), Science (74.1% vs. 65.6%), and English Language Arts (53.7% vs. 53.8%). This suggests the school is providing a strong academic foundation for its students. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 students per teacher, which may contribute to its academic success by allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. When compared to nearby schools, Middleburg Elementary outperforms the lower-ranked schools in the Shikellamy School District, but lags behind the high-performing Linntown Elementary School in the Lewisburg Area School District.

Despite the school's strong academic performance, the high percentage of students from low-income families at Middleburg Elementary School is a significant challenge that the school must address. Research has shown that students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success, and the school's ability to overcome these challenges and provide a high-quality education for its students is commendable. While the school is performing well overall, there is still room for improvement, particularly in areas where the school's performance is slightly below the state average, such as in 4th grade Math and English Language Arts. Identifying and addressing the specific needs of these grade levels and subject areas could help the school further improve its academic 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.
