Summary:
Batavia City School District has only one middle school, Batavia Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as high proficiency rates on Regents exams, it generally underperforms compared to district and state averages on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between the bottom half of New York middle schools over the past three years.
Batavia Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students (53.78%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending of $18,709 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 8.2 is lower than the state average, suggesting the school has access to significant resources. However, the academic performance data suggests these resources may not be effectively translated into improved student outcomes across all subject areas.
Overall, Batavia Middle School appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the Batavia City School District and the state of New York. While the school has some bright spots, such as its Regents exam performance, it faces challenges in consistently meeting academic standards and serving a population with significant socioeconomic needs. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve its overall performance and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
