Summary:

The 19026 zip code in Pennsylvania is home to a single middle school, Drexel Hill Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Upper Darby School District. This school faces significant challenges, with declining statewide rankings, low academic performance, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Drexel Hill Middle School has a statewide ranking that has dropped from 621 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2022-2023 to 688 out of 873 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is well below state averages, with only 12.1% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and 27% proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's high spending per student of $15,759 for the 2022-2023 school year and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 13.8, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that the challenges facing Drexel Hill Middle School and the Upper Darby School District may require a more comprehensive approach to address the root causes of the school's struggles and improve student achievement.
