Summary:
The Holland Patent Central School District in New York contains a single middle school, Holland Patent Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 511 out of 1,479 New York middle schools in 2021-2022 to 921 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024. While the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math varying across grade levels, it has achieved 100% proficiency on Regents exams in Living Environment and Algebra I, outperforming the district and state averages.
Approximately 43.51% of students at Holland Patent Middle School were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. The school's student-teacher ratio is 9.5, which is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively small class size. The school district's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $16,110, which is higher than the state average.
The steady decline in Holland Patent Middle School's statewide ranking is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. The school's uneven academic performance across grade levels and subject areas suggests the need for targeted strategies to address areas of weakness, while its exceptional Regents exam performance in certain subjects is a notable bright spot. The school's socioeconomic factors, such as the high proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may also have implications for resource allocation and academic support initiatives.
