Middle Schools in Gouverneur Central School District

The Gouverneur Central School District in New York has only one middle school, Gouverneur Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.75% to 51.22% across different grade levels and subject areas. Despite higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes compared to the state average, the school is ranked 1187 out of 1504 New York middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gouverneur Middle School's consistently low performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts, suggests the school may be struggling to effectively prepare its students for these standardized tests. The school also serves a relatively low-income population, with 68.01% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, which can present unique challenges in terms of educational resources, support, and student outcomes.

While the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio indicate that it may be investing resources into smaller class sizes and potentially other initiatives, these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Without additional comparative data from other middle schools in the area, it is difficult to identify any standout elements or best practices that could be applied to improve Gouverneur Middle School's performance.
