Millersburg Area Middle School

Summary:

Millersburg Area Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Millersburg, Pennsylvania, with an enrollment of 157 students. The school is part of the Millersburg Area School District, which is ranked 274 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Millersburg Area Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than the state average, it has consistently performed below the state average in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency across all grades. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's overall Math proficiency was 31% compared to the state average of 40.4%, and the 8th grade Math proficiency was even lower at 25.6% compared to the state's 28.6%. The school's performance also varies significantly across student subgroups, with female students and low-socioeconomic status students performing relatively better than the school's white student population, which ranks in the bottom 40% of Pennsylvania middle schools.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Greenwood Middle School, Millersburg Area Middle School generally performs below average. While the school's dropout rates have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 0% to 3%, and its percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch is higher than the state average, addressing the performance gaps, particularly in Math and for the school's white student population, should be a priority for the Millersburg Area School District.

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.
