Middle Schools in Coatesville Area School District

The Coatesville Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to two middle schools: Scott Middle School and North Brandywine Middle School. Both schools have consistently performed below state averages in academic proficiency, ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools according to the SchoolDigger rankings.

The data shows that both Scott Middle School and North Brandywine Middle School have proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts that are significantly lower than the state averages, with both schools scoring around 30% proficient or better, compared to the state averages of around 50%. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students at both schools receiving this benefit.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests a systemic issue within the Coatesville Area School District that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student achievement. The lack of progress in addressing these challenges over the years is also a concern, and the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and approach to supporting its middle school students.
