Middle Schools in Farwell Area Schools

Farwell Area Schools has only one middle school, Farwell Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently performed below the state average in academic proficiency across multiple subject areas and grade levels over the past two school years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite spending more per student than the state average, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting systemic challenges in effectively educating its predominantly low-income student population.

Farwell Middle School's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies are significantly below the state averages, ranging from 13.9% to 32.3% proficient, compared to state averages of 31.5% to 44.4%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (79.08%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance.

While Farwell Area Schools is the only district in the area, the data suggests that Farwell Middle School is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Addressing the root causes of the school's low performance, such as chronic absenteeism and effective resource allocation, may be crucial in improving student outcomes and ensuring that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
