Wallenpaupack Area Middle School

Summary:

Wallenpaupack Area Middle School is a public middle school located in Hawley, Pennsylvania, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 644 students. The school is part of the Delaware Valley School District, which is ranked 237 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wallenpaupack Area Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.16%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in Math. However, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, low socioeconomic status students, and disabled students, ranking in the top 30-40% of Pennsylvania middle schools in these categories. The school also maintains a very low dropout rate, which is a positive indicator of student engagement and retention.

When compared to the nearby middle schools, such as Wayne Highlands Middle School, which ranks in the top 10% of Pennsylvania middle schools and has significantly higher test scores in Math and English Language Arts, Wallenpaupack Area Middle School generally performs below the top-performing schools. The school's declining statewide ranking and the need to address the academic needs of its diverse student population, including a significant proportion of low-income students, are important considerations for the school's leadership and the broader community.

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.
