Summary

Eastern Lebanon County Middle School is a public middle school in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, serving 558 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Eastern Lebanon County School District, which is ranked 370 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Eastern Lebanon County Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts significantly below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, but it performs relatively better for Hispanic students and students with disabilities. The school's dropout rates have also been higher than the state average, and it has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a large proportion of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools like Manheim Central Middle School, Wilson West Middle School, and Cocalico Middle School, Eastern Lebanon County Middle School generally underperforms on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates and higher dropout rates. However, the school does perform relatively better for its Hispanic and disabled student subgroups compared to the nearby schools. Addressing these disparities and improving overall academic outcomes should be a priority for the school and the Eastern Lebanon County School District.
