Spring Forge Intrd School

Summary:

Spring Forge Intrd School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Northeastern York School District in Manchester, PA. With 419 students, this school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic performance, particularly in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts.

Spring Forge Intrd School's academic excellence is noteworthy, as it serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to the district average. In 2023-2024, the school had 49.3% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, 84.1% in PSSA Science, and 64.6% in PSSA English Language Arts - all significantly higher than the district and state averages. This strong performance is likely due to the school's effective teaching practices, curriculum, and relatively low student-teacher ratio, which ranges from 13.8 to 16 over the past few years.

Compared to other schools in the district, Shallow Brook Inter School has a similar percentage of economically disadvantaged students, but Northeastern Middle School lags behind Spring Forge Intrd School in academic performance.

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.
