Summary:

However, Walton High School stands out as a relative bright spot, with strong performance on Regents exams, including 90% proficiency in Algebra II and 90.91% in U.S. History and Government - significantly higher than district and state averages.

While the middle school overall has low performance compared to state averages, it does have some bright spots, including 100% proficiency rates on the Regents Living Environment and Algebra I exams. This suggests the school may be effectively preparing some students for advanced coursework. Across the district, high free and reduced lunch rates point to significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student achievement, and further analysis would be needed to understand how the district's relatively low student-teacher ratios are being utilized.
