Summary:
Bath Central School District has only one middle school, Dana L. Lyon Middle School, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 515 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is generally below state averages across English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years.
While Dana L. Lyon Middle School performs better than the Bath Central School District average in some areas, such as 8th grade Math and Regents exams in Algebra I, it lags behind the district and state in other areas, such as 6th grade ELA. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, and its spending per student is higher than the state average.
The steady decline in Dana L. Lyon Middle School's statewide ranking and its consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that the school is struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in New York. The academic performance gaps and the potential socioeconomic factors affecting the school's population warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to support student success.
