Summary:

Lewiston Porter Middle School is a public middle school located in Youngstown, NY, serving 450 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Lewiston-Porter Central School District. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, its performance on Regents exams remains strong, with 100% proficiency in Geometry, Earth Science, and Algebra I.

The school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with 6th and 7th grade ELA and Math scores generally below the state average, but 8th grade ELA and Science scores above the state average. The school's diverse student population includes subgroups with varying levels of performance, with female students and special education students generally outperforming male students and white students. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, its overall academic achievement could benefit from a more targeted approach to resource allocation and instructional strategies.

In comparison to nearby schools, Lewiston Porter Middle School generally outperforms schools like Newfane Middle School and middle schools in the Lockport City School District on state assessments, particularly in 8th grade ELA and Science. However, the school's overall statewide ranking is lower than some higher-performing nearby schools, such as Starpoint Middle School and Veronica E. Connor Middle School.

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.
