Summary:
The Lawrence Union Free School District has only one middle school, Lawrence Middle School At Broadway Campus, which serves grades 6-8. The school appears to be struggling academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages in several key subject areas despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending.
Lawrence Middle School At Broadway Campus has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools over the past 3 years. Its 7th and 8th grade ELA proficiency rates (33.04% and 38.57%) are significantly below the state averages (49.56% and 51.88%), and its 7th grade math proficiency rate (31%) is also well below the state average (57.08%). However, the school's Regents Geometry proficiency rate is 100%, significantly higher than the state average of 57.44%.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 79.26% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high-need student population may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. While the school's low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending suggest a focus on providing a quality education, the data indicates that the Lawrence Union Free School District may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Lawrence Middle School At Broadway Campus.
