Summary

Tyrone Area Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Tyrone Area School District, with a student population of 508 located in Tyrone, PA. While the school has been consistently ranked in the middle tier of Pennsylvania middle schools, receiving 3-4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past several years, it faces several challenges that set it apart from nearby schools.

Tyrone Area Middle School's test scores, particularly in Math, lag behind the state and district averages, with only 35.8% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math in 2024-2025, compared to 41.7% statewide. The school also has a higher dropout rate in recent years, ranging from 0.0% to 1.6%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.2% to 54.33% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby Park Forest Middle School, Hollidaysburg Area Junior High School, and Bellwood Antis Middle School.

Tyrone Area Middle School's performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, in contrast to the improving or stable performance of many nearby schools. The school also struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, particularly White students and disabled students, who rank in the bottom half of the state. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the school to improve and better serve its students.
