Summary:
Penn Yan Central School District has one middle school, Penn Yan Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 750 and 807 out of over 1,500 New York middle schools. While the school's proficiency rates vary across subjects and grade levels, they are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to national averages, Penn Yan Middle School's academic outcomes do not appear to be significantly better. Over 55% of the school's 328 students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school's performance raises questions about the effective use of resources and the factors contributing to student achievement.
With only one middle school in the district, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons and identify standout schools. Expanding the data set to include more schools within the Penn Yan Central School District or the surrounding region would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the school's performance relative to its peers and help identify areas for improvement.
