Summary

East Norriton Middle School is a public middle school serving around 850 students in grades 5-8 in the Norristown Area School District in Norristown, PA. The school has been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating significant challenges in student academic performance.

East Norriton Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Math proficiency was 36% compared to the state average of 41.7%, and its ELA proficiency was 36.2% compared to the state's 48.5%. The school's performance is also lower than the Norristown Area School District average in both subjects. However, the school performs relatively well for certain student subgroups, such as African American and White students, who outperform the state averages in Math and ELA.

Interestingly, the two other middle schools in the Norristown Area School District, Blockson Middle School and Eisenhower Middle School, also perform significantly below the state averages in Math and ELA proficiency. In contrast, nearby middle schools in higher-performing districts, such as Black Rock Middle School (Lower Merion School District), Wissahickon Middle School (Wissahickon School District), and Pennbrook Middle School (North Penn School District), consistently outperform East Norriton Middle School and the state averages.

The teachers really care. My son became an honor roll student during the pandemic. The administration sends weekly newsletters to keep you in the loop. Close Quote
