North Tonawanda Intermediate School

Summary:

North Tonawanda Intermediate School is a public middle school serving 720 students in grades 4-6 in the North Tonawanda City School District in North Tonawanda, New York. While the school has invested in its resources, with per-student spending increasing from $12,500 to $13,458 over the past few years, its academic performance remains a concern.

North Tonawanda Intermediate School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 26.85% compared to the state average of 47.05%, and the 4th grade Math proficiency rate was 53.92% compared to the state average of 58.03%. The school's performance is also slightly below the district average in both ELA and Math. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.72% to 52.36% over the past three school years, which is higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Casey Middle School and Heim Middle School in the Williamsville Central School District, North Tonawanda Intermediate School's performance is significantly lower. These nearby schools have much higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math, as well as higher overall rankings from SchoolDigger. The consistent underperformance of North Tonawanda Intermediate School, coupled with the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the unique challenges faced by the school and its 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.
