Summary:
The Carthage Central School District in New York has one middle school, Carthage Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as strong performance on certain Regents exams, its overall academic performance is below the state average, with declining proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
Carthage Middle School is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other middle schools in New York. The school's science proficiency rates are also below the state average, with only 29.77% of 5th graders and 47.06% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the state science assessment. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (50.83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student achievement.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and lower-than-average student-teacher ratio, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to address the school's broader academic challenges and support student success.
