Edmund W Miles Middle School

Summary:

Edmund W Miles Middle School is a public middle school located in Amityville, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 599 students. The school is part of the Amityville Union Free School District, which is ranked 809 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edmund W Miles Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1190-1424 out of around 1500 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 11.56% of 6th graders, 23.16% of 7th graders, and 35.06% of 8th graders scored proficient or better on the ELA assessments, compared to the state averages of 43.64%, 49.56%, and 51.88% respectively. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with the school's rankings for subgroups like female students, male students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities all in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools.

Despite the school's high percentage of students from low-income families (74.96% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and its significantly higher per-student spending ($27,214 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, these resources do not translate into better academic outcomes. In fact, the school's performance is in stark contrast to nearby middle schools like Island Trees Middle School, Jonas E Salk Middle School, and Berner Middle School, which consistently outperform Edmund W Miles Middle School on state assessments and have much higher rankings, despite serving student populations with lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
