Summary:
The 19061 zip code in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Chichester Middle School, which is part of the Chichester School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, it is performing below the state average in academic proficiency, particularly in math.
Chichester Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 559 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2022-2023 to 510 out of 873 in 2024-2025. The school's math proficiency rates are significantly below the state average, ranging from 14.4% to 32.6% for different grade levels, compared to the state average of 30.5% to 44%. English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are closer to the state average, but still lag behind in some grade levels.
The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 65.74%, suggests a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing. Despite these challenges, the district should prioritize developing and implementing strategies to improve student outcomes across all subject areas, particularly in math, to ensure Chichester Middle School provides a quality education to its students.
