Iroquois Middle School

Summary:

Iroquois Middle School is a public middle school serving around 450 students in grades 6-8 in Elma, New York, which is part of the Iroquois Central School District. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 8th grade English Language Arts and 7th/8th grade Math, where students consistently outperform the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like John F Kennedy Middle School and East Middle School, Iroquois Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students at 92.67%, in contrast to the more diverse student populations at those schools. The school's academic excellence is further demonstrated by its 100% proficiency rate on Regents exams in Algebra I and Earth Science, far exceeding state and district averages. However, the school's performance on 8th grade Math assessments is notably lower than the state average, indicating an area for potential improvement.

Iroquois Middle School's overall ranking and rating have fluctuated over the years, currently at a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Within the school, male students and special education students tend to perform better than their female and low socioeconomic status peers, suggesting the need to examine the school's support and interventions for these underperforming subgroups. Despite these areas for growth, Iroquois Middle School remains a strong-performing school, particularly in certain academic subjects, and continues to serve the Elma community well.

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.
