Summary

Maple Avenue Middle School is a public middle school located in Littlestown, Pennsylvania, serving 410 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Littlestown Area School District, which is ranked 228 out of 606 school districts in the state.

While Maple Avenue Middle School has a higher spending per student compared to the state average, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 28%, compared to the district's 37.8% and the state's 41.7%. Similarly, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 46%, while the district and state scored 44.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 30% and bottom 20% of Pennsylvania middle schools for White students and students with disabilities, respectively.

Interestingly, Maple Avenue Middle School's performance is generally lower than the nearby middle schools, such as Bermudian Springs Middle School, Spring Grove Area Middle School, and Gettysburg Area Middle School, which consistently outperform Maple Avenue in both Math and ELA proficiency. These nearby schools also have lower dropout rates and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The district may want to closely examine Maple Avenue's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement and better align with the performance of higher-achieving nearby schools.
