Summary:
The Greensburg Salem School District in Pennsylvania has one middle school, Greensburg-Salem Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the PSSA, is generally below the district and state averages, and its overall SchoolDigger rating is only 3 out of 5 stars.
Greensburg-Salem Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates that are significantly lower across both Math and English Language Arts. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rates ranged from 23.4% to 36.4%, while the district and state averages were higher. Similarly, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 40.4% to 48%, also lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance was similar in the 2023-2024 school year, with lower proficiency rates in both subjects compared to the district and state.
Despite the district's relatively high spending per student ($16,187 in the 2022-2023 school year), the resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes at Greensburg-Salem Middle School. The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100% in the 2023-2024 school year), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's consistent student-teacher ratio of around 12.7 to 1 over the years suggests a relatively stable enrollment and staffing situation.
