Evergreen Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools, with academic performance that is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 32.18% to 43.43%, compared to the district's 30.87% to 42.96% and the state's 43.64% to 51.88%. In math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 39.42% to 42.86%, while the district and state had higher rates. The school also struggles on Regents exams, with significantly lower performance than the district and state averages. Interestingly, the school's special education and low socioeconomic status student subgroups perform better than the overall school average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Junior High School 291 Roland Hayes and Junior High School 383 Philippa Schuyler, which also perform below the district and state averages, Evergreen Middle School generally lags behind. However, some nearby schools, like Middle School 267 Math Science & Technology and Bedford Stuyvesant Collegiate Charter School, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and relatively low resource allocation, such as student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, may be contributing factors to its struggles.

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.

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.
