Summary:
The Salmon River Central School District in New York has only one middle school, Salmon River Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of middle schools in the state over the past three school years, with a current ranking of 1482 out of 1504 middle schools in New York for the 2023-2024 school year.
Salmon River Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 6th grade ELA proficiency rate was 18.27% compared to the state average of 43.64%. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $19,068, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance remains well below expectations. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, which is better than the state average, but this has not translated into improved student outcomes.
The high percentage of students (76.68%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Salmon River Middle School indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This raises concerns about equity and the ability of the school to provide the necessary support and resources to address the unique needs of its students. The consistently low performance across multiple subject areas and grade levels suggests a need for targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to improving educational outcomes at the school.
