Summary:
The Freeport Union Free School District in New York is home to two middle schools: John W Dodd Middle School and Caroline G Atkinson School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
John W Dodd Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance on Regents exams, with proficiency rates over 95% in Geometry, Earth Science, and Algebra I. This suggests the school is effectively preparing students for these advanced assessments. Additionally, John W Dodd Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.1 and spends more per student ($22,690) compared to the other middle school in the district. In contrast, Caroline G Atkinson School outperforms the district and state averages in 6th grade math, with 51.06% proficiency compared to 50.56% statewide, but has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.9 and spends less per student ($19,329).
Both middle schools in the Freeport Union Free School District face similar challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic performance. The uneven distribution of resources and academic performance between the two schools suggests the district could benefit from a closer examination of its resource allocation and strategies to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students.
