Beaver River Middle School

Summary:

Beaver River Middle School is a public middle school located in Beaver Falls, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 192 students. The school is part of the Beaver River Central School District, which is ranked 346 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beaver River Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from 27-55% and 25-61% respectively in recent years, generally below the state average. However, the school performs relatively well in 8th grade science assessments, with proficiency rates around 35-62% compared to the state average of around 33-47%. Additionally, Beaver River Middle School stands out for its strong performance on the Regents Earth Science exam, with 100% proficiency rates in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's student-teacher ratio is higher than nearby South Lewis Middle School and Carthage Middle School, and it spends less per student than these nearby schools.

The analysis suggests that Beaver River Middle School faces challenges in improving its academic performance and addressing disparities among student subgroups, with female students and white students generally outperforming their male and non-white counterparts. However, the school's relative strengths in science and Regents exam preparation provide opportunities for the school to build upon and potentially apply to other subject areas. The school's declining academic performance over the past several years is concerning and indicates the need for the school and district to closely examine their instructional practices, curriculum, and resource allocation to address these issues.

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.
