Johnson City Middle School

Summary:

Johnson City Middle School is a public middle school serving approximately 500 students in grades 6-8 in Johnson City, New York, a community located in the Southern Tier region of the state.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,078 in 2022-2023) than the state average, Johnson City Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 995-1269 over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is also well below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 18.38% to 35.44% in English Language Arts and 10.62% to 46.21% in mathematics, compared to state averages of 45.82% to 55.2% and 40.74% to 51.94%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who perform significantly lower than their peers across the state.

Interestingly, the nearby middle schools in the surrounding districts, such as Tioughnioga Riverside Academy, Newark Valley Middle School, and Chenango Forks Middle School, generally outperform Johnson City Middle School on state assessments, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Johnson City Middle School to learn from the practices and strategies employed by its higher-performing neighbors in the Whitney Point Central School District, Newark Valley Central School District, and Chenango Forks Central School District.

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.
