Longwood Junior High School

Summary:

Longwood Junior High School is a public middle school located in Middle Island, New York, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 1,388. The school is part of the Longwood Central School District, which is ranked 697 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longwood Junior High School faces significant academic challenges, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the state and district averages. In 2022-2023, only 28.5% of 7th-grade students and 21.65% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 48% and 55.2%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities, who rank significantly lower in the state. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $21,143 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, Longwood Junior High School has not been able to improve its academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Mount Sinai Middle School and Albert G Prodell Middle School, Longwood Junior High School's academic performance is significantly lower, with these schools ranking much higher in the state and having higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. The school's declining performance, with its statewide ranking dropping from 296 out of 1,242 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 1,273 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023, suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its diverse and disadvantaged student population.

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.
