Summary

Sharon Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Sharon City School District in Pennsylvania. With 286 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores for Math and English Language Arts (ELA).

While Sharon Middle School ranks in the top 3 out of 5 stars for African American and low socioeconomic status students, it ranks in the bottom 1 out of 5 stars for white and multi-racial students. The school has also experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 2.5% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's spending per student, between $14,973 to $16,842, is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools.

The proximity of Sharon Middle School to several other middle schools, including Laurel Middle School, New Castle Junior High School, and Mohawk Junior High School, presents an opportunity for collaboration and sharing of best practices, which could potentially benefit the academic performance of the school and its students.
