Summary:
The Cattaraugus-Little Valley Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Central School District in New York. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and significant per-student spending, its academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with some exceptions on Regents exams.
The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments range from 22.22% to 40.35% and 33.33% to 43.1%, respectively, compared to state averages of 50.86% to 56.61% in ELA and 46.74% to 56.47% in Math. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rates in 5th and 8th grade are also below the state averages. However, the school performs well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Living Environment and 88.89% proficiency in Algebra I.
The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by its high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 51.88%. While the district is allocating significant resources to the school, this does not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. The school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement and better support student learning.
