Summary:
The Sweet Home Central School District in New York has one middle school, Sweet Home Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as high proficiency rates on Regents exams, it also underperforms compared to state and district averages in other areas, including declining statewide rankings and below-average proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
Sweet Home Middle School's statewide ranking has dropped from 805 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023 to 948 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024, indicating a concerning trend. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages in most grade levels. However, the school's proficiency rates on Regents exams, such as Living Environment and Algebra I, are significantly higher than the state and district averages.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (53.78% in 2022-2023). Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and small class size, it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Sweet Home Middle School may require further analysis and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and address the areas where it is underperforming.
