Summary

North Middle School is a public middle school located in Brentwood, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,098 students. The school is part of the Brentwood Union Free School District, which is ranked 811 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with a ranking between 1123 and 1431 out of around 1500 schools over the past 5-6 years. Its performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, ranking in the bottom half of New York middle schools for most student subgroups. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of around $31,000, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for students.

In contrast, middle schools in neighboring districts like Deer Park, Islip, Bay Shore, Hauppauge, and Commack significantly outperform North Middle School and the Brentwood district on academic measures. This highlights the stark disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes within the region. However, North Middle School's performance on Regents exams in Earth Science, Living Environment, and Algebra I is relatively strong, suggesting the school may have the potential to improve if the right supports and interventions are put in place.
