Titusville Middle School

Summary:

Titusville Middle School is a public middle school located in Titusville, Pennsylvania, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 451 students. The school is part of the Titusville Area School District, which is ranked 338 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Titusville Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.68%) compared to the state average, it consistently underperforms in academic measures. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (16.8%), PSSA Science (43.7%), and PSSA English Language Arts (42.8%) are all lower than the state and district averages. This underperformance is particularly concerning for specific student subgroups, such as white students, low socioeconomic status students, and disabled students. Interestingly, the nearby Oil City Area Middle School, which has a similar racial makeup and socioeconomic status, outperforms Titusville Middle School in these academic measures.

Another notable finding is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Titusville Middle School, ranging from 51.11% to 68.29% over the past three school years. This suggests that the school serves a significant population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Despite these concerns, Titusville Middle School has maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past five school years, indicating effective student retention and engagement.

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.

Open Quote I teach here and love it. I'm also proud to be bringing my kids up through this district. Check out our writing scores that aren't available through this site. Too bad because it would bump our rating up 100 notches easily. Close Quote

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.
