Summary

DuBois Area Middle School is a public middle school in DuBois, Pennsylvania, serving 1,063 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the DuBois Area School District, which is ranked 180 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, DuBois Area Middle School has shown a mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Science have consistently exceeded the district and state, its PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) scores have been below average for most grade levels. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with multi-racial students performing relatively well but White students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds lagging behind.

One notable aspect of DuBois Area Middle School is the extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.72% to 100% in recent years. This suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may have implications for resource allocation and support services. The school's dropout rate has also fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 0.0% to 1.6%, and its per-student spending has been consistent with the district and state averages.
