Summary:
The Upper Darby School District in Pennsylvania is home to two middle schools: Beverly Hills Middle School and Drexel Hill Middle School. Both schools have consistently performed below the state average on various academic measures, with rankings in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past three years.
According to the data, neither Beverly Hills Middle School nor Drexel Hill Middle School stand out as high-performing institutions. Both schools are rated 1 or 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) at both schools is significantly lower than the state and district averages.
The data also reveals that the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with both having very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student and student-teacher ratios at the schools suggest that the current resource allocation and instructional approaches may not be effectively addressing the underlying issues. Despite the available resources, the schools have not shown significant improvement in their academic performance over the past three years, indicating the need for a more comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges faced by these institutions.
