Summary:
The Bentworth School District in Pennsylvania contains a single middle school, Bentworth Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been a concern, particularly in mathematics.
Bentworth Middle School's performance on standardized tests, including the PSSA, is generally below the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math are significantly lower than the district and state, ranging from 14.1% to 44.1% across different grade levels. In contrast, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are more competitive, exceeding the state average in some cases. The school's overall ranking among Pennsylvania middle schools has also declined in recent years, from 332 out of 893 in 2022-2023 to 452 out of 873 in 2024-2025.
Despite these academic challenges, Bentworth Middle School has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's spending per student is $12,131, and it maintains a relatively small class size with a student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1. These factors suggest that the school may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in the area of mathematics.
