West Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom 20-25% of New York middle schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.9% to 31.6% in English Language Arts and 20.83% to 27.31% in Math, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 52.38% in ELA and 46.74% to 51.2% in Math. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings for different subgroups all in the bottom 25-50% of New York middle schools.
