Summary:
The Schuylkill Haven Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Schuylkill Haven Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Schuylkill Haven Middle School's academic achievement is a concern, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) below the state averages for all grades and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 25.6% compared to the state average of 41.7%, and its ELA proficiency rate was 35.5% compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's proficiency rates have also declined from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year.
Despite the school's relatively low performance, it spends more per student and has smaller class sizes compared to the state average. However, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Schuylkill Haven Middle School serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles. Overall, the data suggests that the school faces persistent challenges in improving student outcomes and may require additional support and resources to address these issues effectively.
