Middle Schools in New Brighton Area School District

Summary:

The New Brighton Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, New Brighton Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently performed below the state average in academic proficiency, ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past few years.

New Brighton Area Middle School has a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) were significantly lower than the state averages, at 20.9% and 29.4% respectively, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%. The school's Science proficiency rate in 2023-2024 was slightly higher than the state average, at 58.6% compared to 65.8%.

The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students receiving this benefit in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending of $21,152 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic performance suggests that the funding may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school's small student population of 282 students may also present both advantages and challenges in providing a high-quality education.
