Summary:

The city of Cheektowaga, New York is home to four middle schools serving grades 5-8: Cheektowaga Middle School, Maryvale Middle School, Cleveland Hill Middle School, and John F Kennedy Middle School. These schools are operated by the Cheektowaga Central School District, Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District, Cleveland Hill Union Free School District, and Cheektowaga-Sloan Union Free School District, respectively.

Among the four middle schools, Maryvale Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher in the state and having a higher percentage of students proficient in ELA, Math, and Science compared to the other schools. In contrast, Cleveland Hill Middle School has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.3, indicating smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students, as well as the highest spending per student at $25,942.

While the schools generally perform well on Regents exams, with several achieving 100% proficiency in subjects like Algebra I and Living Environment, all four middle schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings and proficiency rates on state assessments over the past few years. This concerning trend suggests the need for further investigation into the specific strategies and interventions employed by the higher-performing schools, as well as the factors contributing to the overall decline in academic performance across the Cheektowaga middle schools.
