Summary:
The West Seneca Central School District in New York is home to two middle schools: West Middle School and East Middle School. While both schools have some areas of strength, such as high proficiency rates on Regents exams, they generally lag behind the district and state averages in core academic subjects like English Language Arts and Math.
One standout area for the middle schools is their performance on Regents exams. Both West Middle School and East Middle School have 100% proficiency rates on the Earth Science and Algebra I Regents exams, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, East Middle School has a higher 8th grade science proficiency rate compared to the district and state. However, both schools struggle with lower English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels when compared to the district and state.
The data also reveals some differences between the two schools. East Middle School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a higher spending per student, but this does not seem to translate to better overall academic performance compared to West Middle School. The analysis suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as socioeconomic challenges, may be influencing student outcomes in the West Seneca Central School District. Overall, the district may need to focus on developing targeted strategies to improve student learning and achievement across all of its middle schools.
