Middle Schools in Tussey Mountain School District

Summary:

The Tussey Mountain School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Tussey Mountain Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance has been consistently below the state averages in Pennsylvania, ranking 589 out of 873 middle schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tussey Mountain Middle School's proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts (ELA), and Science are all significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 21% compared to the state average of 41.7%, and its ELA proficiency rate was 35.8% compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate for 2023-2024 was also lower than the state average, at 45.2% compared to 54.5%.

The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100.39% in 2023-2024, suggests that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of these students. The school's dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year is also a concern and may be related to the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school and its students.
