Susquenita Middle School's academic performance is inconsistent, with stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to math on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA). While the school's ELA proficiency rates range from 45.9% to 62.2% across grade levels, its math proficiency rates are consistently below the state average, ranging from 22% to 30.4%. Compared to nearby schools like Camp Hill Middle School and Eagle View Middle School, Susquenita Middle School's academic performance is generally lower in both subjects.

Additionally, Susquenita Middle School's performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students and disabled students is below the state average, indicating potential equity concerns. Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, its academic performance suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
