Summary:

The Cheektowaga-Sloan Union Free School District in New York has only one middle school, John F. Kennedy Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has shown exceptional performance on Regents exams, its overall academic achievement on state assessments tends to be below the district and state averages.

John F. Kennedy Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 945 out of 1,500 schools in 2022-2023 to 1,124 out of 1,504 schools in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are around 35-45%, compared to the district's 37-43% and the state's 47-56%. However, the school has achieved a 100% proficiency rate on the Regents exams in Earth Science and Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 55.67% in 2023-2024. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 and high per-student spending of $26,587, these resources do not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes across all subject areas. The Cheektowaga-Sloan Union Free School District as a whole is also facing challenges, with an overall ranking of 613 out of 874 in New York and a 2-star rating out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
