Summary

Northeast Intermediate School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Scranton School District in Pennsylvania. With 923 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past 10 years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northeast Intermediate School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 7.4% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and 19.3% proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to 18% and 25.8% for the district, and 41.7% and 48.5% for the state, respectively. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 1.6% in recent years, higher than the state average of around 1.4%. Despite spending more per student ($16,895 in 2022-2023) than the state average, these investments have not translated to improved academic outcomes.

When compared to other nearby middle schools in the Scranton School District, such as West Scranton Intermediate School and South Scranton Intermediate School, Northeast Intermediate School stands out as an outlier in terms of academic performance and student demographics. These other schools perform significantly better on standardized tests and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that Northeast Intermediate School may require targeted interventions and support services to help its students succeed.
