Coxsackie-Athens Middle School

Summary:

Coxsackie-Athens Middle School is a public middle school serving 364 students in grades 5-8 in the Coxsackie-Athens Central School District in Coxsackie, NY. The school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic, multiracial, and African American students.

Coxsackie-Athens Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower proficiency rates on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state average. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 776 and 1119 out of 1500 New York middle schools, and has been rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with special needs. Despite a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school has not been able to translate increased funding into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Bethlehem Central Middle School and Howard L Goff School, Coxsackie-Athens Middle School generally underperforms. However, the school has performed well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Algebra I and Earth Science, suggesting that it is able to prepare a subset of its students for advanced coursework and college-level assessments. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.3 to 10.9 over the past few years, indicates that it has the resources to provide more individualized attention, but this has not resulted in better academic 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.
