Letchworth Middle School

Summary:

Letchworth Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Letchworth Central School District in Gainesville, NY, with 278 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9:1. While the school has been consistently rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, its academic performance has been mixed compared to state and district averages.

Letchworth Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male and White students generally performing better than female and special education students. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are often below the state average, indicating room for improvement. Additionally, the school's spending per student, at around $11,163, is lower than nearby schools like Pioneer Middle School ($16,189 per student) and Attica Junior High School ($18,896 per student). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (48.56% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the state average.

Letchworth Middle School's inconsistent academic performance, equity concerns, and declining rankings compared to nearby schools suggest the need for targeted interventions, a focus on improving outcomes for underperforming subgroups, and learning from the practices of higher-performing neighboring schools in the Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District, Attica Central School District, Dalton-Nunda Central School District (Keshequa), and Warsaw 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.
