Fulton Junior High School

Summary:

Fulton Junior High School is a public middle school located in Fulton, New York, serving around 500 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Fulton City School District, which is ranked 784 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fulton Junior High School faces significant challenges, including consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.2%) compared to the state average, and a high percentage of students (61.8%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population. Academically, the school's performance on state assessments is below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.02% to 52.2% across different subjects and grade levels.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Morgan Road Middle School and Soule Road Middle School, Fulton Junior High School has a less diverse student population and consistently underperforms academically. The school's spending per student, around $17,893, is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 could be a potential strength, though it does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school culture, may need to be addressed.

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.
