Queensbury Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 4-8 in the Queensbury Union Free School District, with a student population of 704. Located in Queensbury, NY, the school has a predominantly white student body, with over 90% of students identifying as white in recent years. Despite this lack of racial diversity compared to nearby schools like Glens Falls Middle School and Maple Avenue Middle School, Queensbury Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of New York middle schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking.

Queensbury Middle School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students consistently outperforming the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in 2022-2023, 63.68% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 55.2%.

While Queensbury Middle School's overall performance is strong, there are some areas for potential improvement. The school's student-teacher ratio of around 12.7 is lower than many nearby schools, but its performance for certain student subgroups, such as students with special needs, is more mixed. Additionally, the school's lack of racial diversity compared to the surrounding area may be an area for the school to consider addressing to provide a more inclusive learning environment. Overall, Queensbury Middle School appears to be providing a high-quality education to its students, but there may be opportunities to further enhance the educational experience.

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.
