Stroudsburg Junior High School

Public, Alternative Grades 8-9
Summary

Stroudsburg Junior High School is a public secondary school in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, serving grades 8-9 with a total enrollment of 754 students. It is part of the Stroudsburg Area School District, which is ranked 303 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has seen a steady increase in dropout rates, from 0.5% in 2020-2021 to 1.6% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, its academic performance has been a concern. Proficiency rates in PSSA Math (35.5% in 2023-2024) and PSSA Science (54.2% in 2023-2024) are lower than the district and state averages, and the school's test scores have generally been declining over the past few years, with a significant drop in Math proficiency from 29.8% in 2022-2023 to 17% in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.87% in 2020-2021 to 44.3% in 2022-2023.

However, the school's spending per student has increased from $17,931 in 2019-2020 to $19,583 in 2021-2022, indicating a higher investment in the school's resources. The student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, ranging from 15.1 to 16.1 over the past three school years, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, Stroudsburg Junior High School faces some challenges, particularly in academic performance, that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
