Middle Schools in Brentwood Union Free School District

Summary:

The Brentwood Union Free School District in New York is home to four middle schools: East Middle School, North Middle School, South Middle School, and West Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and face significant challenges, with overall academic performance lagging behind state averages.

Among the four schools, East Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently outpacing the district and state on state assessments and Regents exams. The school boasts impressive proficiency rates in subjects like Earth Science, Living Environment, and Algebra I. In contrast, South Middle School also demonstrates stronger academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, compared to its peers within the district.

Despite the variability in school performance, the Brentwood Union Free School District as a whole faces significant challenges. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math range from around 15% to 46%, well below the state averages of around 50% or higher. Additionally, the district has high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The relatively high per-student spending in the district suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and utilization to drive improved academic outcomes for all students.
