Summary

J T Lambert Intermediate School is a public middle school in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, serving 920 students in grades 6-8 as part of the East Stroudsburg Area School District. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past decade.

J T Lambert Intermediate School's PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores are significantly below the state and district averages, particularly in Math, where only 20.3% of students were proficient or better in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 29.7% in the district and 41.7% statewide. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is slightly better, but still below the state average. Interestingly, the school's performance varies by student subgroup, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than their White peers on PSSA tests.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Pocono Mountain West Junior High School and Stroudsburg Middle School, J T Lambert Intermediate School's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average suggest that targeted interventions and additional resources could potentially help improve outcomes for all students.
