Summary:

Cleveland Hill Middle School is a public middle school located in Cheektowaga, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 298 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Hill Union Free School District, which is ranked 505 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Cleveland Hill Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 402 out of 1,438 New York middle schools in 2017-2018 to 796 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024, the school excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.56% to 52.48% in ELA and Math across different grade levels. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, and its student population is diverse, with notable subgroups including Asian, African American, and Hispanic students.

Interestingly, the school's performance on state assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students consistently outperforming female students, and Asian and Hispanic students generally performing better than African American and White students. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of underperforming subgroups. Additionally, the school is located in close proximity to several higher-performing middle schools, such as Heim Middle School, Mill Middle School, and Amherst Middle School, which could present opportunities for collaboration, resource-sharing, and learning from the practices of these higher-performing schools to improve Cleveland Hill Middle School's overall performance.

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.
