Middletown City School District

The Middletown City School District in New York serves a diverse student population across 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges, as it is ranked 775 out of 866 districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in educational outcomes.

Among the standout schools, Maple Hill Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance compared to other elementary schools. In contrast, William A Carter School has the highest student-teacher ratio, which could present challenges in providing personalized support. Middletown High School stands out with the highest spending per student, suggesting greater resources available for the high school.

The district's student population is predominantly Hispanic and African American, with a small percentage of white students. Across the schools, academic performance is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from around 20% to 50%. However, Maple Hill Elementary School has higher Math proficiency rates compared to the district and state. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all schools indicate a significant economically disadvantaged student population, which may require additional resources and support to address their unique needs.
