Summary:
Mifflin County School District has only one middle school, Mifflin County Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 502 out of 883 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2021-2022 to 625 out of 891 in 2023-2024, earning a rating of just 1 out of 5 stars.
Mifflin County Middle School's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state averages. In 2023-2024, the school's Math proficiency rate for all grades was 16.6%, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school also serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 59.22% in 2022-2023, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1 in 2022-2023. However, the school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was only $19, which is significantly lower than the state average. This suggests that the Mifflin County School District may not be allocating sufficient resources to support student learning and academic success at Mifflin County Middle School.
