Chartiers Valley Middle School

Summary:

Chartiers Valley Middle School is a public middle school located in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 718 students. The school is part of the Chartiers Valley School District, which is ranked 280 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Chartiers Valley Middle School's performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby higher-ranked schools. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (31.4%) and English Language Arts (60.4%) were lower than the state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and African American students performing relatively better than Asian and multi-racial students, as well as English Language Learners and students with disabilities. Additionally, Chartiers Valley Middle School has experienced a higher dropout rate in recent years, ranging from 0.2% to 1.6%, which is higher than the state's average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as South Fayette Middle School, Keystone Oaks Middle School, and the middle schools in the Upper St. Clair and Mt. Lebanon school districts, Chartiers Valley Middle School generally performs worse academically. This may be due to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 34.68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 12.4 over the past few years, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
