Summary:
Gananda Central School District has a single middle school, Gananda Middle School, serving grades 6-8. The school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with strengths in certain areas like 8th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Regents exams, but struggles in others like 6th and 7th grade ELA and 6th and 8th grade Math.
Gananda Middle School's 8th grade ELA proficiency rate (63.16%) was higher than the Gananda Central School District (63.16%) and state (52.38%) averages, but the school's 6th and 7th grade ELA proficiency rates were lower than the state averages. In Math, the school's 7th grade proficiency rate (74.63%) was significantly higher than the district (73.53%) and state (56.47%) averages, but the 6th and 8th grade rates were lower. The school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate (40%) was also lower than the state average (43.5%).
Gananda Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.8 and a high per-student spending of $33,645, suggesting access to significant resources. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 34.74% indicates that a substantial portion of the student population may come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, raising questions about the school's ability to provide equitable educational opportunities and support for all students.
