Summary:
The Cortland City School District has two middle schools, Cortland Junior High School and Randall Middle School, that serve students in grades 6-8. The data reveals that both schools are performing significantly below the state average on key academic measures, with no clear standout schools in the district.
Cortland Junior High School and Randall Middle School have low rankings within New York state, with Cortland Junior High School ranked 1114 out of 1504 middle schools. Both schools also have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with the exception of Cortland Junior High School's 100% proficiency rate on the Regents Algebra I exam. The socioeconomic factors, such as high free and reduced lunch rates and relatively high spending per student, suggest that the district may be facing challenges that impact student achievement.
The consistent low performance across both schools indicates a systemic challenge within the Cortland City School District. Investigating the factors contributing to the low performance, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and support for students, could help the district develop targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students.
