Summary:
The Governor Mifflin School District in Pennsylvania is home to two middle schools: Intermediate School (grades 5-6) and Governor Mifflin Middle School (grades 7-8). These schools serve a high-need student population, with over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Intermediate School stands out as a strong performer, with higher proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 6th grade. In contrast, Governor Mifflin Middle School struggles with Math proficiency, with only 25-28% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly underperforming the district and state.
Both schools have relatively high spending per student, at $16,299 for Intermediate School and $15,737 for Governor Mifflin Middle School. However, the student-teacher ratios remain large, at 15.2 and 13.7, respectively, suggesting a potential need to allocate more resources towards reducing class sizes and providing more individualized attention. Additionally, the statewide ranking of Governor Mifflin Middle School has been gradually declining, from 522nd out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2023-2024 to 466th out of 873 in 2024-2025, which is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
