Summary:
The Central Valley Central School District At Ilion-Mohawk in New York contains a single middle school, Gregory B Jarvis Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. The school has faced academic challenges in recent years, with a declining statewide ranking and mixed performance on state assessments.
Gregory B Jarvis Middle School has been ranked 920 out of 1,504 New York middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5. Its ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 1,247 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023 (1-star rating) to 1,060 out of 1,479 in 2021-2022 (1-star rating). The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average (e.g., 7th grade math, Regents exams) and others performing significantly below (e.g., 5th and 6th grade ELA and math, 5th and 8th grade science).
Despite the school's academic challenges, the district appears to be allocating resources efficiently, with a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio and spending per student that is slightly above the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with over 63% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the areas of academic weakness, while considering the high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, may be key to improving the school's overall performance.
