Robert J Kaiser Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly below the state averages. However, the school's performance on Regents exams is relatively stronger, with 85-97% proficiency in Living Environment and Algebra I. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 64-67% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a diverse student population with significant percentages of Hispanic, African American, and White students. Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.

Nearby schools, such as Monhagen Middle School, Circleville Middle School, and Port Jervis Middle School, generally perform better than Robert J Kaiser Middle School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as stronger performance on Regents exams. These schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that the socioeconomic challenges faced by Robert J Kaiser Middle School may be a significant factor in its underperformance.

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.
