Summary:
The Oxford Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to two middle schools: Penn's Grove School and Hopewell Elementary School. Both schools are facing significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.
Despite these challenges, the schools are demonstrating some strengths. Penn's Grove School is ranked 294 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools and has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years. Both schools perform above the state average in PSSA English Language Arts proficiency, with Penn's Grove School at 61.2% and Hopewell Elementary School at 59.9% proficient or better.
However, Penn's Grove School struggles with PSSA Math proficiency, with only 30.6% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40.4%. This is an area that the school and district may want to focus on improving. Both schools have relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, which could indicate a focus on providing resources and support for their students.
