Summary:
The Hoosick Falls Central School District in New York contains a single middle school, Hoosick Falls Middle School, serving grades 5-8.

However, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 736 out of 1,504 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 864 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, indicating a potential decline in performance.
Despite the relatively high spending per student ($22,734) and low student-teacher ratio (9:1) in the Hoosick Falls Central School District, the academic outcomes at Hoosick Falls Middle School suggest a need to examine the effective allocation of resources and explore other factors that may be influencing student performance. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56.09%) at the school indicates a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could be an area for further investigation to understand the school's efforts to address equity and support the needs of its student population.
