Summary:

Williamson Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Williamson Central School District in Williamson, NY. With 279 students, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 498 in 2013-2014 but as low as 1,090 in 2022-2023, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Williamson Middle School's student performance on state assessments is generally below the state average in English Language Arts and Math, the school excels on Regents exams like Earth Science and Algebra I, with 100% proficiency rates. However, there are significant disparities in performance between student subgroups, with male students and White students outperforming their female and Hispanic peers. Students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds also tend to lag behind their classmates. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio has decreased in recent years, indicating relatively small class sizes.

When compared to nearby middle schools like Bay Trail Middle School and Johanna Perrin Middle School, which have higher rankings and better student outcomes, Williamson Middle School has room for improvement. By focusing on targeted interventions and aligning its practices with the higher-performing schools in the region, Williamson Middle School may be able to enhance its overall academic performance and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
