Summary:
The Center Moriches Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Center Moriches Union Free School District in New York. While the school performs well on certain Regents exams, its proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science. This inconsistent performance suggests the school may be struggling to prepare students for the state-level assessments.
The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 28.92% in the 2022-2023 school year, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Additionally, the school district's overall ranking is 634 out of 865 in New York, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating broader challenges within the district that could be impacting the middle school's performance.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $22,537 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is above the state average, the school's overall performance is still lagging behind. This raises questions about how the resources are being allocated and utilized within the school to support student learning. Addressing these district-level factors and implementing targeted interventions may be crucial in improving the performance of the Center Moriches Middle School and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education.
