Summary:

Maple Avenue Middle School is a high-performing public middle school in Saratoga Springs, New York, serving 1,392 students in grades 6-8. The school consistently ranks among the top 20% of middle schools in the state, with strong academic performance across all grade levels and subjects.

Maple Avenue Middle School's proficiency rates on state assessments significantly exceed the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. The school also excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I. While the school's performance is generally consistent across different student subgroups, there are some areas for improvement, such as addressing the achievement gap between female and male students, as well as the lower performance of Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students. The school's relatively high per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratio suggest a strong resource allocation to support student learning.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Acadia Middle School, Gowana Middle School, and Koda Middle School (all part of the Shenendehowa Central School District) also demonstrate strong academic performance, while Oliver W. Winch Middle School and Glens Falls Middle School have lower rankings and proficiency rates. Maple Avenue Middle School's success is particularly noteworthy given its relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting effective teaching and learning practices that benefit students from diverse socioeconomic 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.
