Summary:
The Spackenkill Union Free School District is home to a single middle school, Orville A. Todd Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. This standout school consistently ranks in the top 22% of middle schools in New York state, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 school years.
Orville A. Todd Middle School outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. Its 8th grade ELA proficiency rate of 68.81% is over 16 percentage points higher than the state average, and its 7th grade Math proficiency rate of 68.54% is over 11 percentage points above the state average. The school also boasts 100% proficiency rates on the Regents exams for Earth Science and Algebra I, significantly exceeding state benchmarks.
While the school's academic performance is impressive, its demographic and socioeconomic profile suggests a relatively affluent student population, with a low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and high per-student spending compared to the state average. This raises questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the Spackenkill Union Free School District, which would require further analysis to understand the school's efforts to address any potential disparities.
