Summary

Robert Reid Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Middletown, Pennsylvania, serving 420 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Middletown Area School District, which is ranked 323 out of 606 school districts in the state.

While Robert Reid Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 students per teacher, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's proficiency rates on PSSA tests in both Math and English Language Arts are below the state and district averages across all grade levels. This is particularly true for White students and students with disabilities, who perform in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. However, the school's Hispanic students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds have performed better than their peers, ranking in the top 50% of the state.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Middletown Area School District and the surrounding region, Robert Reid Elementary School generally performs worse on standardized tests and has a lower statewide ranking. For example, Kunkel Elementary School, also in the Middletown district, consistently outperforms Robert Reid Elementary on PSSA tests and has a higher statewide ranking. Addressing the challenges faced by Robert Reid Elementary School, such as the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, will require a comprehensive and targeted approach to support the unique needs of its student population and leverage its existing strengths.
