Summary:
The Gorham-Middlesex Central School District (Marcus Whitman) in New York has one middle school, Marcus Whitman Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a low student-teacher ratio and high proficiency rates on certain Regents exams, its overall performance on state assessments is below the state average.
On the 2023-2024 New York State Assessments, Marcus Whitman Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were below the state averages for all grade levels. However, the school performed better on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Earth Science and Algebra I. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's 8th-grade ELA and Science proficiency rates were higher than the state averages, but its Math proficiency rates were still below the state average.
The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (57.82% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $17,729, which is higher than the state average, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1. These factors suggest that the district is investing resources in the school, but the academic outcomes do not appear to be consistently strong, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices and resource allocation.
