Summary:
The 18032 zip code in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Catasauqua Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. This public school is part of the Catasauqua Area School District and has an enrollment of 468 students.
Catasauqua Middle School is underperforming compared to state averages across most academic metrics, including math, ELA, and science proficiency. The school's overall performance and individual grade-level results are also below the district averages, indicating it is one of the lower-performing schools within the Catasauqua Area School District. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (100%), suggesting a high-need student population.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's spending per student ($19,303) is higher than the state average, but it is unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1 is relatively low, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning, but the data does not indicate if this is having a meaningful impact.
