Academically, Neil A Armstrong Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with only 15.4% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 22.4% in the district and 41.7% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for White and Multi-racial student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania middle schools.
