Kenney Middle School

Summary:

Kenney Middle School is a public middle school located in Hannibal, New York, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 346 students. The school is part of the Hannibal Central School District, which is ranked 782 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kenney Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.82%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Donald S Ray School and Oswego Middle School, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, the school's performance on state assessments is consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.5% to 35% in ELA and even lower in math. As a result, Kenney Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Kenney Middle School (77.46% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. When compared to nearby middle schools like Emerson J Dillon Middle School and Donald S Ray School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates and overall school rankings, it becomes clear that Kenney Middle School is underperforming academically. This suggests that the Hannibal Central School District may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by Kenney Middle School and its 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.
