Summary

Roxboro Road Middle School is a public middle school located in Syracuse, New York, serving grades 5-7 with a total enrollment of 705 students. The school is part of the North Syracuse Central School District, which is ranked 630 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roxboro Road Middle School consistently performs below the state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 34.47% in 5th grade ELA, 32.08% in 6th grade ELA, and 32.71% in 7th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 56.61%, 50.86%, and 50.99%, respectively. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of several student subgroups, ranking particularly low for Asian, African American, White, Multi-racial, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students compared to other middle schools in New York.

Despite the school's high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 53.05% to 61.68% over the past few years, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's per-student spending has increased from $13,771 in 2020-2021 to $26,249 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average but does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School, which consistently outperforms Roxboro Road Middle School in ELA and Math proficiency rates, the challenges faced by Roxboro Road Middle School become even more evident.
