Summary:
The 19518 zip code is home to a single middle school, Daniel Boone Area Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Daniel Boone Area School District. This middle school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the past two school years, despite some fluctuations in its statewide ranking, which ranged from 232 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2023-2024 to 349 out of 893 in 2022-2023.
Daniel Boone Area Middle School's academic performance is relatively strong, with math and ELA proficiency rates generally above the state averages, particularly in the upper grades. The school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 66.4% in 2023-2024 was also notably higher than the state average of 54.5%. However, the school's dropout rate of 1.4% in 2023-2024 suggests there may be room for improvement in student retention and support.
With over 43% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could be an important factor in understanding the school's performance. The district's relatively high spending of $12,274 per student in 2022-2023 suggests a commitment to resource allocation, but further analysis would be needed to determine the effectiveness of these investments in supporting student outcomes.
