Knox Middle School is a public middle school in Johnstown, New York, serving grades 5-8 and part of the Johnstown City School District. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, with some notable strengths and areas for improvement.

One of Knox Middle School's key strengths is its 7th grade Math performance, with a proficiency rate of 67.48% - significantly higher than the district (66.94%) and state (57.08%) averages. However, the school's performance for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, as well as in 8th grade ELA and Math, is below the state averages. Interestingly, the school's performance for male students (ranked 502 out of 1,464 NY middle schools) is better than for female students (ranked 663 out of 1,465), and its performance for Hispanic students (ranked 459 out of 953) is better than for White students (ranked 488 out of 778).

Compared to nearby schools, Fonda-Fultonville 5-8 School consistently outperforms Knox Middle School and the state averages in ELA and Math across all grade levels, while Canajoharie Middle School and Wilbur H. Lynch Literacy Academy have significantly lower performance. The higher performance of Fonda-Fultonville 5-8 School may be attributed to its lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to Knox Middle School, suggesting that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in the school's academic outcomes.

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.
