Schuylkill Haven Middle School

Summary:

Schuylkill Haven Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-7 in the Schuylkill Haven Area School District, located in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. With 260 students, the school faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high dropout rates, and a significant population of students from low-income families.

The school's academic performance consistently ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with proficiency rates in Math (32.4%) and English Language Arts (42.9%) that are lower than the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly weak for certain student subgroups, such as White students and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania middle schools in Math proficiency. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.6% to 2.0% over the past few years, which are higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Conrad Weiser Middle School, Schuylkill Valley Middle School, and Blue Mountain Middle School, Schuylkill Haven Middle School's academic performance is generally lower, with lower PSSA proficiency rates and worse statewide rankings. However, the school's dropout rates and free/reduced lunch rates are similar to or lower than some of the nearby schools, suggesting that the school may be facing unique challenges in serving its student population. To improve student outcomes, the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support the needs of its diverse student body.

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.
