Summary:
The Eastern York School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Eastern York Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 218th out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2022-2023 to 401st out of 873 in 2024-2025.
Eastern York Middle School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in Math (31.6%) and English Language Arts (46.7%) below the state averages in 2024-2025, but a higher proficiency rate in Science (66.7%) compared to the state average in 2023-2024. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (51.15% in 2023-2024), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.9 is slightly lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $17,029, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that the district is investing significant resources into the school, and it would be valuable to understand how these funds are being allocated and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning and achievement.
