Summary:
The Gouverneur Central School District in New York contains only one middle school, Gouverneur Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. The school's performance on state assessments is consistently below the state average, with only 53.76% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 56.61% in 2024-2025.
Despite relatively high spending per student at $27,572 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, Gouverneur Middle School is ranked 1080 out of 1500 New York middle schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 62.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges.
Overall, the data suggests that Gouverneur Middle School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistently below-average performance on state assessments, high poverty rates, and the apparent disconnect between spending and outcomes warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
