Berwick Area School District


Summary:

The Berwick Area School District in Pennsylvania consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools (West Berwick Elementary, Salem Elementary, and Nescopeck Elementary), 1 middle school (Berwick Area Middle School), and 1 high school (Berwick Area High School).

The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the elementary schools and the middle/high school. Salem Elementary and Nescopeck Elementary consistently outperform the district and state averages on PSSA tests, with over 60% of students scoring proficient or better in math, science, and English language arts. In contrast, the middle and high school struggle with math proficiency, with only about 33% of students meeting or exceeding standards.

The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges across the district, with all schools having extremely high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.59% to 100%. This suggests that the district may need to allocate resources more equitably to support student success, particularly at the middle and high school levels where academic performance is lagging. Addressing these disparities will be crucial for the Berwick Area School District to improve overall student outcomes.
