Oxford Academy Middle School

Summary:

Oxford Academy Middle School is a public middle school serving 234 students in grades 5-8 in Oxford, New York, which is part of the Cincinnatus Central School District. While the school has some strengths, such as high Regents exam performance and a low student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across grade levels and student subgroups.

Oxford Academy Middle School stands out with 100% proficiency rates on the Algebra I and Living Environment Regents exams, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school struggles in 5th-7th grade ELA and Math assessments, with only 33.33% of 5th graders proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 45.09%. The school's racial makeup is also significantly more white (95.3%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 85-96% white students. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (47.01%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than some of the nearby schools like Greene Middle School.

Despite its high Regents exam performance, Oxford Academy Middle School's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 683 out of 1,455 schools in 2016-2017 to 841 out of 1,500 schools in 2022-2023. The school also spends significantly more per student ($19,239 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, which range from $9,802 to $17,541 per student. These findings suggest the need for further analysis and potential improvements to better support student learning outcomes at Oxford Academy Middle School.

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.
