Middle Schools in Whitney Point Central School District

The Whitney Point Central School District in New York contains a single middle school, Tioughnioga Riverside Academy, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively well-funded educational environment with a low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been mixed, with a declining statewide ranking and uneven proficiency rates on state assessments.

Tioughnioga Riverside Academy's statewide ranking has dropped from 705 out of 1,479 New York middle schools in 2021-2022 to 979 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024, indicating the school is struggling to keep pace with its peers. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math range from around 30-60%, below the state averages of 40-50%. However, the school has excelled on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 54.26% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite its well-funded environment and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic challenges suggest a need to closely examine instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
