Summary:
The Schalmont Central School District has only one middle school, Schalmont Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is consistently below the New York state average across all subjects and grade levels, and its statewide ranking has been declining over the past few years, dropping from 847 out of 1,504 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 1,126 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025.
Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, Schalmont Middle School's academic outcomes are not reflecting these investments. The school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting it may not be serving a high-need population, which could contribute to the academic challenges. The data indicates an overall struggle with academic performance at the school, with no signs of improvement in recent years.
Overall, the Schalmont Central School District has only one middle school, Schalmont Middle School, which is underperforming academically compared to state averages. The school's declining statewide ranking and consistent underperformance on state assessments suggest the need for further investigation and potential interventions to address the root causes of the academic challenges.
