Summary:
The Middle Country Central School District in New York is home to two middle schools: Dawnwood Middle School and Selden Middle School. Both schools serve students in grades 6-8 and have relatively low statewide rankings and SchoolDigger ratings of 1 or 2 stars out of 5.
The data shows that both Dawnwood Middle School and Selden Middle School consistently underperform compared to the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. The district-wide proficiency rates are also below the state average, indicating a broader challenge in the Middle Country Central School District. While the per-student spending for both schools is slightly higher than the district average, and the student-teacher ratios are adequate, the schools have a significant proportion of students (around 37%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
These findings raise concerns about the equity of educational opportunities and resources within the district, and whether additional support or targeted programs are needed to ensure all students have the necessary resources to succeed. Addressing the systemic challenges facing the Middle Country Central School District will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the student population.
