Stroudsburg Junior High School

Summary:

Stroudsburg Junior High School is a public secondary school in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, serving grades 8-9 with a total enrollment of 754 students. It is part of the Stroudsburg Area School District, which is ranked 303 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has seen a steady increase in dropout rates, from 0.5% in 2020-2021 to 1.6% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, its academic performance has been a concern. Proficiency rates in PSSA Math (35.5% in 2023-2024) and PSSA Science (54.2% in 2023-2024) are lower than the district and state averages, and the school's test scores have generally been declining over the past few years, with a significant drop in Math proficiency from 29.8% in 2022-2023 to 17% in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.87% in 2020-2021 to 44.3% in 2022-2023.

However, the school's spending per student has increased from $17,931 in 2019-2020 to $19,583 in 2021-2022, indicating a higher investment in the school's resources. The student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, ranging from 15.1 to 16.1 over the past three school years, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, Stroudsburg Junior High School faces some challenges, particularly in academic performance, that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student 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.
