Summary

Midland El/Middle School is a public elementary and middle school serving 230 students in grades PK-8 in Midland, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Midland Borough School District. The school faces significant challenges, consistently performing below the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Midland El/Middle School's Math proficiency was 23.3%, compared to the state average of 41.7%, and its ELA proficiency was 31.7%, compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for both female and male students, and in the bottom 3% for white students in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates, with a 1.4% dropout rate in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the 0.0% rate in the previous two years.

Interestingly, Midland El/Middle School's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Blackhawk Intermediate School and Dutch Ridge Elementary School, which are part of the higher-performing Beaver Area School District. These schools consistently outperform Midland El/Middle School in both Math and ELA proficiency. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Midland El/Middle School, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, may be a contributing factor to its struggles.
