Summary:
Saranac Central School District in New York has a single middle school, Saranac Middle School, serving grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly White student population and generally lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school excels in 8th-grade Math, Science, and Regents exams for Algebra I and Earth Science.
Saranac Middle School's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 659 out of 1,242 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 743 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5. Despite these fluctuations, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $15,377 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, suggesting that it has access to significant resources that have not yet translated into consistently strong academic performance across all subject areas.
Overall, Saranac Central School District has a single middle school that exhibits both strengths and areas for improvement. While the school excels in certain subjects, its overall academic performance, as measured by state assessments and rankings, suggests that the district may need to focus on addressing the disparities in ELA proficiency and ensuring more consistent and well-rounded academic achievement across all grade levels.
