Middle Schools in Oswego City School District

Summary:

The Oswego City School District in New York has one middle school, Oswego Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as high proficiency rates on Regents exams, it is underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state.

Oswego Middle School's statewide ranking has been declining, from 972 out of 1,500 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 1,125 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 33.9% to 43.38% compared to the state averages of 49.56% to 52.38% in ELA and 40.72% to 57.08% in Math. However, the school's proficiency rates on Regents exams in Algebra I and Living Environment/Biology are high, at 100% and 97.44%, respectively.

Despite the school's relatively small student population of 575 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, as well as high per-student spending of $29,611, the school is struggling to prepare its students for state assessments. The high free/reduced lunch rate of 49.57% indicates that the school serves a large population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation.
