Summary

Kennett Middle School is a public middle school located in Landenberg, Pennsylvania, serving 914 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Kennett Consolidated School District, which is ranked 238 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kennett Middle School consistently performs above the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) exams. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 42.4% in Math and 53.8% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school excels in the performance of its White student subgroup, ranking 56th out of 649 Pennsylvania middle schools in Math and 5th out of 649 in ELA. However, the school struggles with its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools for these groups.

Kennett Middle School generally outperforms its nearby counterparts, such as North Brandywine Middle School and Octorara Intermediate School, in both Math and ELA proficiency rates. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Downingtown Middle School, Garnet Valley Middle School, and Charles F. Patton Middle School in the surrounding area. The school's relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 39.83% to 46.61% over the past few years, may contribute to the challenges it faces in supporting its Hispanic and ELL student populations.
