John G Borden Middle School

Summary:

John G Borden Middle School is a public middle school located in Wallkill, New York, serving 432 students in grades 7-8 and part of the Wallkill Central School District.

The school has maintained a consistent middle-range ranking among New York middle schools, with mixed academic performance. While students excel in Math and Science, they perform slightly below the state average in English Language Arts. The school's Regents exam results are particularly strong, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Living Environment. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing well but African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students lagging behind. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, its overall academic outcomes are not significantly higher than the state average, suggesting a need to examine the efficient allocation of resources.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Rombout Middle School, Cornwall Middle School, and Circleville Middle School, John G Borden Middle School's performance is not an outlier, with some neighboring schools significantly outperforming it and others performing at a similar or lower level. These comparisons highlight the need for the school to identify and learn from the best practices of its higher-performing counterparts, particularly in addressing the needs of underperforming student subgroups and ensuring that increased spending translates into improved academic 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.
