Summary

Yellow Breeches Middle School is a public middle school located in Boiling Springs, PA, serving 498 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the South Middleton School District, which is ranked 240 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Yellow Breeches Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 25-30% of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 290 out of 873 middle schools. The school's performance on PSSA tests is generally on par with or slightly below the state and district averages, with a notable exception in English Language Arts, where the school outperforms the state and district. However, the school's Math and Science performance is below average, an area the school and district should address.

The school has a relatively diverse student population, with 37.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. While the school's overall performance is solid, there are significant gaps in academic achievement between different student subgroups, such as male and female students, Asian students, and low-income students. Addressing these equity concerns and providing more targeted support for these groups could be a priority for the school and district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
