Summary:
The Cheektowaga Central School District in New York serves students from three schools: Union East Elementary School, Cheektowaga High School, and Cheektowaga Middle School. The district faces several challenges, including inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and high rates of economic disadvantage among its student population.
Cheektowaga Middle School stands out for its strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in Living Environment and Algebra I, but lags behind state averages in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Cheektowaga High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate and performs well on several Regents exams, but also struggles in some subject areas compared to state averages.
Across the district, student performance on state assessments and Regents exams is generally below state averages, with the elementary and middle schools showing lower proficiency rates compared to the high school. Additionally, the district has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.14% at Union East Elementary to 68.26% at Cheektowaga Middle School. Addressing these equity concerns and implementing targeted interventions will be crucial for the district to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all learners.
