Carl I Bergerson Middle School

Summary:

Carl I Bergerson Middle School is a public middle school located in Albion, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 403 students. The school is part of the Albion Central School District, which is ranked 564 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The academic performance of Carl I Bergerson Middle School is a concern, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments and a declining statewide ranking over the past decade. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as White, African American, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom half or bottom quarter of all New York middle schools. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,073 and low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes, indicating the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices and resource allocation.

Comparing the school's performance to nearby middle schools, such as Merton Williams Middle School, Churchville-Chili Middle School, and Batavia Middle School, suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the strategies and practices of higher-performing schools in the region. While the school performs relatively well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Algebra I and Living Environment, this has not translated into improved performance on the state assessments.

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.
