Summary:
The Burrell School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Charles A Huston Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with a 2-out-of-5-star performance rating on the SchoolDigger scale.
Academically, Charles A Huston Middle School struggles, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) well below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.2% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%, and 43.9% were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's 8th-grade proficiency rates in Math (18.9%) and ELA (45.9%) are particularly low compared to the state averages of 30.5% and 49.3%, respectively.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and a higher per-student spending of $15,749, which is above the state average. However, the school serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 42.18% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may need additional resources and support to address the needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.
