Overall, the data suggests that Depew Union Free School District is facing some challenges with its middle school performance, but the school's small class sizes and higher-than-average spending may be strengths that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's declining statewide ranking and uneven performance across different assessments.
