Mifflin County School District

Summary:

The Mifflin County School District in Pennsylvania consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Within the district, a few schools stand out in their academic performance. Indian Valley Elementary School and Strodes Mills Elementary School have significantly higher proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Lewistown Elementary School and East Derry Elementary School have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-need student population, yet they still manage to achieve relatively strong academic results, particularly in English Language Arts.

The district as a whole struggles academically, with most schools performing below the state averages in Math and English Language Arts proficiency. Mifflin County High School has a 36.5% proficiency rate in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 44.3%, and Mifflin County Middle School has only 18.5% of students proficient in Math across all grades, well below the state average of 41.7%. However, the district's graduation rate of 87.9% and dropout rate of 1.4% are relatively positive indicators.
