Summary:
The Brookhaven-Comsewogue Union Free School District has only one middle school, John F. Kennedy Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally below the district and state averages. However, the school has achieved 100% proficiency on the Regents exams for Living Environment and Algebra I, outperforming the district and state averages in those areas.
The school has a student population of 822 and a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 35.16%, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from lower-income families. The school district's spending per student is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is lower, suggesting the district is allocating significant resources to the school. Despite these resources, the school's academic performance on state assessments remains a concern, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of the school's curriculum and teaching practices.
Overall, John F. Kennedy Middle School is the sole middle school in the Brookhaven-Comsewogue Union Free School District and is underperforming compared to district and state averages on state assessments, despite the district's investment in resources. The school's strengths in Regents exams and the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on its performance suggest opportunities for improvement through tailored interventions and a comprehensive review of the school's educational approach.
