Summary

Meadville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Crawford Central School District in Meadville, Pennsylvania, with 336 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.7. The school has consistently underperformed the state and district averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency, with only 25.5% of students proficient or better in Math and 51.8% in ELA, compared to 34.6% and 44.4% for the district, and 41.7% and 48.5% for the state, respectively. Meadville Middle School also has higher dropout rates and an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.11% to 99.24% over the past 3 years.

Interestingly, Meadville Middle School's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with male students ranking 326 out of 839 PA middle schools, while female students ranked 425 out of 835. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 332 in 2015-2016 to 552 in 2021-2022. This trend is concerning and suggests the school may be struggling to meet the needs of its student population. In comparison, the nearby James W. Parker Middle School, which is part of the higher-performing General McLane School District, consistently scores 20-30 percentage points higher than Meadville in PSSA Math and ELA proficiency.

To address these challenges, the Crawford Central School District and the Meadville community will need to provide additional resources and support for the students and teachers at Meadville Middle School. This may include targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and increased funding to address the high poverty rates and other factors that may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
