Cincinnatus Middle School

Summary:

Cincinnatus Middle School is a small public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the rural town of Cincinnatus, New York, with a student population of just 142 as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school has shown some strengths, such as exceptional performance on Regents exams, it has generally struggled to match the academic achievements of nearby schools.

Academically, Cincinnatus Middle School has consistently performed below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on New York State Assessments. However, the school stands out in 8th grade Science, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average by a significant margin. The school's Regents exam performance is also noteworthy, with 100% of students achieving proficiency in Algebra I, outpacing both the Norwich City School District and the state averages. Cincinnatus Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 568th out of 1,242 New York middle schools in 2020-2021 to 901st out of 1,500 in 2022-2023, and its overall SchoolDigger rating has varied from 3 stars to 2 stars out of 5.

One significant factor that may contribute to Cincinnatus Middle School's academic challenges is its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and the surrounding schools, such as Norwich Middle School, Oxford Academy Middle School, and Homer Junior High School, which range from 42% to 59% free/reduced-price lunch recipients. Further analysis of the school's resource allocation and strategies to support its student population could provide valuable insights for improving educational 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.
