Gloversville Middle School

Summary:

Gloversville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Gloversville, New York, part of the Gloversville City School District, which is ranked 812 out of 865 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 548 students, Gloversville Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-1 star rating.

Gloversville Middle School significantly underperforms the state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 16.77% in 6th grade ELA, 23.53% in 7th grade ELA, and only 8.4% in 8th grade Math, compared to state averages of 43.64%, 49.56%, and 40.72% respectively. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of New York middle schools for most subgroups. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's high poverty rate (over 70% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and low district spending (ranging from $14,127 to $17,303 per student) may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.

Nearby middle schools, such as Canajoharie Middle School and Wilbur H. Lynch Literacy Academy, also struggle academically but generally outperform Gloversville Middle School on state assessments and have higher SchoolDigger ratings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Gloversville Middle School may be more severe than those of its neighbors. Addressing the school's high poverty, low spending, and lack of consistent improvement will be critical in order to provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
