Summary

Schuylkill Haven Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-7 in the Schuylkill Haven Area School District, with 264 students located in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. The school district is ranked 344 out of 606 districts in the state and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Schuylkill Haven Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state and its own school district on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had only 25.6% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 34.9% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Similarly, in PSSA English Language Arts, the school had 35.5% proficient or better, compared to 43.8% for the district and 48.5% for the state. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania middle schools for female students, white students, low socioeconomic status students, and students with disabilities on PSSA assessments. Additionally, the school has seen relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.0% to 2.0%, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Conrad Weiser Middle School, which is about 20 miles away, Schuylkill Haven Middle School generally underperforms on academic measures. Schuylkill Haven Middle School's performance on state assessments has also declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 299 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2018-2019 to 565 out of 873 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger star rating decreasing from 3 to 2 stars. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.56% to 53.03% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which likely contributes to its academic struggles.
