Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 19082 zip code - Beverly Hills Middle School, which is part of the Upper Darby School District. The school's performance is significantly below state averages across all academic metrics, with declining statewide rankings over the past three years. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, the school's academic outcomes suggest that significant improvements are needed to better support the success of its students.
Beverly Hills Middle School has a high dropout rate of 1.4% and its students perform well below state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 9.5% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%, and the school's proficiency rate in PSSA English Language Arts was 22.7% compared to the state's 48.5%. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at over 100% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's poor performance, it is spending a relatively high amount per student, at $14,658 for the 2022-2023 school year. The student-teacher ratio is also slightly higher than the state average, at 14.6. These factors, combined with the school's declining statewide ranking, suggest that the school's resource allocation and teaching practices may not be effectively supporting the academic success of its students.
