Middle Schools in Cheektowaga Central School District

Summary:

The Cheektowaga Central School District in New York contains a single middle school, Cheektowaga Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 1,326 out of 1,500 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 953 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, and is currently rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Cheektowaga Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science consistently falling below state averages across all grade levels. However, the school's Regents exam performance in Algebra I and Life Science Biology is relatively strong, suggesting a focus on preparing students for those specific assessments. The school serves a high-need student population, with 71.71% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges.

Despite the school's underperformance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $23,401 for the 2023-2024 school year and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.7, which raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. Overall, Cheektowaga Middle School appears to be a struggling school within the Cheektowaga Central School District, and there may be opportunities to improve the school's performance and better serve its students.
