Summary:
The Monticello Central School District has one middle school, Robert J Kaiser Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels, suggesting the school is struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students.
Robert J Kaiser Middle School's proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all well below the state averages. For example, in 8th grade Math, the school's proficiency rate is just 5.21% compared to the state average of 40.72%. The school's overall state ranking places it in the bottom 3% of middle schools in New York. However, the school's Regents exam proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I are higher than the district and state averages, though these results may not be representative of the overall academic performance.
The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 66.39% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $19,378 and small class sizes with a 10:1 student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The data suggests the school may need more targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
