Wyoming Area Intermediate Center

Summary:

Wyoming Area Intermediate Center is a public middle school serving 484 students in grades 4-6 in West Pittston, PA, a relatively low-income area. The school has a strong academic performance, particularly in PSSA Science and Math, where it outperforms the district and state averages. However, its English Language Arts results are more mixed, with some grades performing better than the district and others lagging behind.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,356 to $14,949 over the past 4 years, and its low student-teacher ratio of around 13.7-13.8, its overall academic performance is still mixed compared to the state average. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be at play. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 52.78% to 99.59% over the past 3 years, may present unique challenges that impact its performance. When compared to higher-performing schools like Abington Heights Middle School and Dallas Middle School, Wyoming Area Intermediate Center has room for improvement, but its unique demographics and context should be considered.

Overall, Wyoming Area Intermediate Center appears to be a solid middle school with some areas of strength, particularly in PSSA Science and Math, but also challenges in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. The school's performance is generally stronger than nearby schools like Northeast Intrmd School, G A R Middle School, and South Scranton Intrmd School, but it still has room for improvement to reach the level of higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
