Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District

The Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District in New York serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 557 out of 865 districts in the state and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, some individual schools within the district stand out.

Maryvale High School consistently ranks in the top 50% of New York high schools, with strong performance on Regents and Common Core exams, particularly in STEM-related subjects. The school has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, though the dropout rate is also higher than the state average at 4.9%. In contrast, Maryvale Intermediate School performs slightly below the state average in English Language Arts and Math assessments for grades 3-5, but is still ranked in the top 50-60% of New York elementary schools.

Across the district, the schools have relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 42.79% at Maryvale Primary School to 52.51% at Maryvale Intermediate School. This suggests a need to address socioeconomic challenges and ensure equitable access to educational resources. Additionally, the variation in student-teacher ratios and spending per student across the schools highlights the importance of effective resource allocation to meet the unique needs of each school community.
