Washingtonville Middle School

Summary:

Washingtonville Middle School is a public middle school serving around 900 students in grades 6-9 in the Washingtonville Central School District in Washingtonville, New York. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments across English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with only 30.2% of 6th graders proficient in ELA and 31.94% proficient in Math. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and African American students generally performing better than Hispanic and White students, and special education and economically disadvantaged students struggling the most.

While Washingtonville Middle School's Regents exam performance is exceptional, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 98.77% proficiency in Living Environment, this suggests the school may be focusing more on preparing students for these high-stakes exams rather than broader academic proficiency. Compared to nearby middle schools like Greenwood Lake Middle School, which consistently ranks in the top 20% of New York middle schools, Washingtonville Middle School generally underperforms. This may be due in part to the school's relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (34.67%), which likely contributes to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent neighboring districts.

Washingtonville Middle School's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 681 out of 1,407 New York middle schools in 2014-2015 to 1,149 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024. This concerning trend warrants further investigation into the underlying causes, as the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in core subject areas like ELA and Math.

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.
