Beaver River Middle School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, socioeconomic disparities, and equity issues among student groups. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools, such as South Lewis Middle School, Carthage Middle School, and Lowville Middle School. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (99.48%) compared to the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations.

Beaver River Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with female students and special education students performing relatively better, while male students and white students perform significantly worse compared to their peers in the state and nearby schools. The school's spending per student has fluctuated over the years, ranging from $7,798 to $9,390, which is generally lower than the nearby schools. To address these challenges, the school may need to implement targeted interventions, review its instructional practices, and collaborate with the surrounding Carthage Central School District, Lowville Academy & Central School District, and South Lewis Central School District to identify and adopt effective strategies for improving student outcomes.

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.
