Albert Gallatin North Middle School

Summary:

Albert Gallatin North Middle School is a public middle school serving 385 students in grades 6-8 in the Albert Gallatin Area School District in Mc Clellandtown, Pennsylvania. Despite its high per-student funding, the school has consistently underperformed, earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools.

The school's academic struggles are evident across key metrics. Its proficiency rates on PSSA tests lag behind state averages, with just 32.5% of students proficient in Math, 46.1% in Science, and 40.8% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 40.4%, 65.8%, and 53% respectively. The school also grapples with performance gaps, with its White, low-income, and disabled students all ranking in the bottom 40% of Pennsylvania middle schools. Additionally, the school has seen relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 1.5% to 2.3%, higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Albert Gallatin South Middle School outperforms Albert Gallatin North Middle School in both test scores and overall school rankings. Despite the high poverty levels, with over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $14,183 to $16,849 per year. However, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.
