This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state, with strong academic metrics that set it apart from many of the surrounding schools.

Mount Sinai Middle School's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high test scores, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in many subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 8th-grade students achieved 66.1% proficiency in English Language Arts and 58.33% proficiency in Science, significantly higher than the state averages.

Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with only 10.64% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly lower than the surrounding Middle Country Central School District, Three Village Central School District, and other nearby districts. This socioeconomic disparity may have implications for resource allocation and the availability of support services for students from lower-income backgrounds.

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.
