Summary:
The Lockport City School District in New York serves students from 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with some schools, like Aaron Mossell Junior High School and George Southard Elementary School, consistently outperforming others on state assessments.
While Lockport High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 679 out of 1,190 high schools in 2021-2022 to 740 out of 1,228 in 2022-2023, the district's middle school, Aaron Mossell Junior High School, stands out with exceptional math proficiency rates, with 54.67% of 7th graders and 33.49% of 8th graders scoring proficient in 2023-2024, far exceeding the district and state averages.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Anna Merritt Elementary School and Charles A Upson Elementary School, tending to have lower proficiency rates on state assessments. This highlights the ongoing challenge of addressing achievement gaps and ensuring equity across the district.
