Summary:
The Whitehall-Coplay School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Whitehall-Coplay Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school's academic performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, it faces some unique challenges that may be contributing to its declining ranking among Pennsylvania middle schools.
Whitehall-Coplay Middle School is ranked 383 out of 873 Pennsylvania middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has been declining over the past few years, from 418 out of 891 in 2023-2024 to 448 out of 893 in 2022-2023. On PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests, the percentage of students proficient or better is consistently below the state averages, ranging from 31.7% to 33.2% in Math and 43.4% to 51.2% in English Language Arts.
The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families. The district's spending per student for the 2022-2023 school year was $19,379. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 15:1, the data suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and support for students to raise their academic achievement and address the needs of its student population.
