Middle Schools in Longwood Central School District

The Longwood Central School District in New York is home to two middle schools, Longwood Junior High School and Longwood Middle School, which serve students in grades 5-8. The data analysis reveals that both schools are underperforming compared to state averages, with declining academic performance and high rates of students from low-income families.

Academically, both Longwood Junior High School and Longwood Middle School have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state average. For example, Longwood Junior High School's 7th grade ELA proficiency rate was just 21.45% in 2023-2024, well below the state average of 49.56%.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, significantly higher than the state average. This suggests the schools may be facing challenges related to the economic status of their student populations. While the schools have varying levels of spending per student and student-teacher ratios, the data indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Longwood Central School District.
