Summary:
Tulpehocken Area School District has a single middle school, Tulpehocken Area Middle School, serving grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its state ranking, dropping from 239 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2023-2024 to 286 out of 873 in 2024-2025. Its academic performance, as measured by PSSA proficiency rates, is mixed, with the school outperforming the district and state averages in some subject areas and grade levels, while underperforming in others.
Tulpehocken Area Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.36% in the 2023-2024 school year. This can be an indicator of lower socioeconomic status and may present additional challenges for the school. However, the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, which could suggest a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
Overall, Tulpehocken Area School District has a single middle school that is performing at a middle-of-the-pack level within the state, with some areas of strength and some areas for improvement. The school's declining ranking, mixed academic performance, and high free and reduced lunch rate may be areas of concern that the district and school administrators should closely monitor and address.
