Summary:
The Port Jervis Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Port Jervis City School District in New York. The school serves grades 6-8 and has faced academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics, where student proficiency rates lag behind state averages.
While Port Jervis Middle School's performance on the state ELA and math assessments is below the state average, the school has shown strengths in other areas. Its 8th-grade science proficiency rate exceeds the state average, and the school has high passing rates on the Living Environment and Algebra I Regents exams. Additionally, the school district invests heavily in resources, spending $29,210 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2.
Despite the school's academic struggles, the data suggests that Port Jervis Middle School is working to support its students. With a high poverty rate, where 57% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces unique challenges in addressing the learning needs of its population. By focusing on its strengths in science and Regents exams, while continuing to improve in ELA and mathematics, Port Jervis Middle School can work towards providing a well-rounded education for the students in its community.
