Middle Schools in Brownsville Area School District

The Brownsville Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Brownsville Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other schools in the state.

Brownsville Area Middle School's academic achievement is a major concern, with proficiency rates in PSSA tests significantly lower than state averages in math (18.3% vs. 40.4%), science (36.3% vs. 65.8%), and English language arts (32.7% vs. 53%). The school's performance has either declined or remained stagnant in recent years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school district spending a relatively high amount per student ($16,907) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio (15.3), the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The data suggests that the Brownsville Area School District may need to implement more targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges faced by Brownsville Area Middle School and improve student achievement.
