Fox Lane Middle School

Summary:

Fox Lane Middle School is a public middle school located in Bedford, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 765 students. The school is part of the Byram Hills Central School District, which is ranked 247 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fox Lane Middle School has a relatively diverse student population, with 50.46% White, 40.13% Hispanic, and 3.53% Asian students. Academically, the school's performance is generally above the state average but lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Briarcliff Middle School and Seven Bridges Middle School. While the school performs well for White and Asian students, it struggles with lower proficiency rates for Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner (ELL) students.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Fox Lane Middle School, at $28,122 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with this level of funding. Over the past several years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 136 out of 1,401 New York middle schools in 2013-2014 to 503 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. The significant differences in performance between student subgroups at Fox Lane Middle School are concerning and indicate that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices to better support all students.

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.
