Summary:
The Gates Chili Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Gates Chili Central School District in New York. While the school performs exceptionally well on Regents exams, its proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science.
The school's math proficiency rates are closer to the state averages, with 7th grade Math being the strongest performance at 51.74% proficient, compared to the state average of 57.08%. However, the school's ELA and Science proficiency rates are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels, indicating a potential area for improvement. Interestingly, the school's proficiency rates on the Regents exams, such as Earth Science and Algebra I, are significantly higher than the district and state averages, suggesting that the school is effectively preparing students for these high-stakes assessments.
The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 57.61%, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. Despite this, the school's spending per student is $17,943, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 10.7, which is lower than the state average, suggesting that the school may be able to provide more individualized attention to students. These factors may contribute to the school's strong performance on Regents exams, but further investigation into the school's instructional practices and targeted interventions for struggling students could provide valuable insights to address the areas of underperformance.
