Summary:
The Northern Bedford County School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Northern Bedford County Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 220 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2022-2023 to 267 out of 873 in 2024-2025, suggesting it may be underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state.
While the school's ELA and science proficiency rates are above the district and state averages, its math proficiency rates are below average across all grade levels, with the 8th grade math proficiency rate being particularly low at 29.1%. This could be an area of concern that the school may need to address. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 48.48%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student of $16,025 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.3 is relatively low, which could contribute to its ability to provide more individualized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that Northern Bedford County Middle School has some areas of strength, particularly in ELA and science, but also faces challenges in math proficiency and may need to develop strategies to improve student outcomes.
