Summary:
The Island Park Union Free School District in New York has only one middle school, Island Park Lincoln Orens Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 653 out of 1,479 New York middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,067 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024. Its performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from around 30% to 50%, generally below the state averages.
However, the school performs better than the district and state averages in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 69.7% proficiency in Living Environment. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.54% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is $31,475, which is significantly higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 6.9, which is relatively low compared to the state average.
Overall, the analysis suggests that Island Park Lincoln Orens Middle School is facing some challenges in maintaining its academic performance and statewide ranking, despite the district's investment in the school. Further investigation into the specific factors contributing to the school's performance, as well as comparisons to other schools in the region or state, would be necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the school's strengths and areas for improvement.
