Summary:
The city of Springville, New York is home to a single middle school, Griffith Institute Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District. While the school has some positive metrics, such as high proficiency rates on Regents exams, its overall academic performance on state assessments is below the state average, particularly in English Language Arts.
Griffith Institute Middle School has 366 students and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1. The school spends $26,068 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (37.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic challenge may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.
On state assessments, Griffith Institute Middle School's performance is mixed. In 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 24.74% (6th grade) to 38.27% (8th grade), compared to the state average of around 50%. In math, the school performed better, with proficiency rates ranging from 51.22% (6th grade) to 56.92% (8th grade), which is closer to the state average. The school's performance on Regents exams is a bright spot, with 100% proficiency rates in both Earth Science and Algebra I in 2024-2025.
