Summary:

The Elmira Heights Central School District is home to a single middle school, Cohen Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 252 students. While the school has achieved 100% proficiency on certain Regents exams, its overall academic performance on the New York State Assessments is generally below the state average across English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

Cohen Middle School faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students (52.78%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $22,089 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, the impact of these resources on academic outcomes is unclear. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 949th out of 1,504 New York middle schools in 2023-2024 to 1,020th out of 1,500 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Without any other middle schools within the Elmira Heights Central School District for comparison, it is difficult to fully assess Cohen Middle School's performance. Further analysis and comparison to similar schools or districts could provide additional insights to guide improvement efforts and support the school's efforts to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges it faces.
