Brocton Middle High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its nearby peers on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math for grades 6-8 significantly below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 71-85%, lower than the state average of around 84%, and its dropout rate has ranged from 4.5-15.7%, higher than the state average. Brocton Middle High School has also had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34-41% in recent years, significantly above the state average. The school's performance on state assessments is particularly low for its White, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of New York high schools for these groups.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Silver Creek High School, Maple Grove Junior/Senior High School, and Fredonia High School, Brocton Middle High School's academic performance lags behind. This is likely due to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67-68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, the resources may not be optimally allocated or utilized to support student learning, as evidenced by the poor academic 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.
