Summary:
The Little Falls City School District in New York has only one middle school, Little Falls Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 828 out of 1,500 schools in 2022-2023 to 753 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025.
Academically, Little Falls Middle School's proficiency rates on state assessments are mixed, with below-average performance in 6th and 7th-grade English Language Arts and Math, but above-average performance in 8th-grade ELA, Math, and Science. The school's Regents exam results, however, are strong, with 100% proficiency in Living Environment and Algebra I. The school's per-student spending is significantly higher than the state average, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for students.
Despite the school's higher spending, it serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 44.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's small student-teacher ratio of 8.4 suggests a focus on individualized attention, but the declining statewide ranking suggests that the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to improve its overall academic performance, particularly in the earlier grades.
