Summary

Union Vale Middle School is a public middle school located in Lagrangeville, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 958 students. The school is part of the Arlington Central School District, which is ranked 527 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Union Vale Middle School has shown a strong performance in Regents exams, with over 98% proficiency in Algebra I and Earth and Space Sciences in recent years, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In state assessments, the school has consistently outperformed the district and state in Math, with 6th and 7th-grade proficiency rates often exceeding 50%. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) has been more mixed, with 6th and 8th-grade proficiency rates generally higher than the Arlington Central School District but lower than the state.

The school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from around 20-25% in recent years, is lower than many nearby schools. Additionally, Union Vale Middle School's per-student spending has been relatively high, exceeding $30,000 per student in the most recent year, which is higher than the district and state averages. These factors may contribute to the school's overall academic performance, but they also raise questions about the school's ability to effectively serve students from lower-income backgrounds.
