Summary:
Wallkill, New York is home to a single middle school, John G Borden Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the middle to upper-middle range of New York middle schools over the past few years, with mixed performance on state assessments. While the school excels in Regents exam proficiency, particularly in Algebra I and Life Science Biology, there are indications of potential equity concerns, as the school has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 40.28%, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
John G Borden Middle School spends $36,005 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, suggesting a focus on providing students with ample resources and individualized attention. This may be a contributing factor to the school's strong performance on certain assessments, such as the Regents exams. However, the school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts is below the district and state averages, indicating an area for potential improvement.
Overall, Wallkill Central School District appears to have a single middle school that is performing in the middle to upper-middle range, with some areas of strength, such as Regents exam proficiency, and potential areas for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students and improving English Language Arts achievement.
