Summary:
The Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District in New York has only one middle school, Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Middle School, which serves 390 students in grades 6-8. The school's performance is concerning, as it is ranked 1120 out of 1504 New York middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Middle School's academic performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average in most subject areas, including English Language Arts and Math. For example, the school's proficiency rates in 2023-2024 were 26.42% in 6th grade ELA, 30.48% in 7th grade ELA, and 34.04% in 8th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 43.64%, 49.56%, and 51.88%, respectively.

Despite the school's high spending of $17,233 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. The school's challenges may be related to the socioeconomic factors of its student population, with 43.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Further investigation into the school's specific programs, teaching practices, and resource allocation could provide more insights into how to improve student outcomes at Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Middle School.
