Summary:
Middletown Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Middletown Area High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 341 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 478 out of 634 in 2021-2022. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, with 2 stars out of 5 in the current and previous school year, and 1 star in 2021-2022.
Academically, Middletown Area High School performs better in Algebra I compared to the state average, with proficiency rates of 45.6% in 2023-2024 and 40.9% in 2022-2023. However, the school struggles in Biology and Literature, with proficiency rates lower than the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 87.5%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate was 1.6%, which is relatively low.
The school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 50.74% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Despite this, the school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $17,145, which is above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio for 2022-2023 was 14.3, slightly lower than the state average. These factors suggest that the school has access to more resources, but this has not necessarily translated to higher academic performance across all subjects.
