Seneca Falls Middle School

Summary:

Seneca Falls Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Seneca Falls, New York, with 277 students. The school is part of the Seneca Falls Central School District, which is ranked 643 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Seneca Falls Middle School consistently performs below the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.17% of 6th graders, 36.26% of 7th graders, and 45.26% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 43.64%, 49.56%, and 51.88%, respectively. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools for female students, white students, multi-racial students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school performs exceptionally well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Earth Science and Algebra I in 2023-2024, significantly outperforming the state averages.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Skaneateles Middle School, which is 19 miles away and consistently ranks in the top 5% of New York middle schools, Seneca Falls Middle School generally performs worse academically. The school's declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 504 out of 1,407 middle schools in 2014-2015 to 1,118 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 3 stars to 1 star during this period, suggests that the district and school leadership should prioritize developing and implementing strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
