Dake Junior High School

Summary:

Dake Junior High School is a public middle school in Rochester, New York, serving 558 students in grades 7-8 and consistently ranking among the top middle schools in the state. The school's strong academic performance, diverse student population, and efficient resource allocation set it apart from nearby schools.

Dake Junior High School consistently outperforms the state and West Irondequoit Central School District averages in New York State Assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 65.41% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 55.2%.

While Dake Junior High School's overall performance is exceptional, the school may need to explore strategies to further support the academic achievement of its non-White and economically disadvantaged student subgroups. The school's racial diversity is higher than the surrounding schools, but its performance for Asian, African American, and Hispanic students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of New York middle schools. In contrast, the school's performance for White and Special Education students is particularly strong, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of New York middle schools, respectively. Dake Junior High School's success is a testament to its commitment to academic excellence, but the school must continue to work towards ensuring equitable outcomes for all 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.
