Algonquin Middle School consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments across all grade levels, with proficiency rates as high as 62.04% in 8th grade ELA and 67.36% in 7th grade Math, compared to state averages of 55.2% and 51.94%, respectively. The school also excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Algebra I, Geometry, and Earth Science, significantly outperforming the state and district averages.

Algonquin Middle School has maintained a strong performance over the years, consistently ranking in the top 25% of New York middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, except for the 2020-2021 school year when it dipped to a 3-star rating. While the school's overall performance is impressive, there may be opportunities to further support the academic achievement of specific subgroups, such as Hispanic, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. Algonquin Middle School outperforms many of the nearby middle schools, such as Lisha Kill Middle School and William S Hackett Middle School, but faces competition from high-performing schools like Bethlehem Central Middle School and Howard L Goff School, which rank among the top 15% of New York middle schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Does not cater well to students with learning disabilities. Any student that does not fit in to the “norm” gets left behind. Most administrators are incredibly rude. Horrible communication from administration. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
