Summary

Joseph F Quinn Intermediate School 77 is a public middle school located in Ridgewood, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 602 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 544 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Joseph F Quinn Intermediate School 77 has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of New York middle schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's performance on Regents exams, such as Algebra I and Living Environment, is relatively stronger, with proficiency rates around 80-95%, compared to 55-65% for the district and state. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with around 85-90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a diverse student population with significant percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and White students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as IS 93 Ridgewood and Madiba Prep Middle School, Joseph F Quinn Intermediate School 77 has generally lower academic performance, with the nearby schools serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's strengths lie in its relatively stronger performance among certain student subgroups, such as White and English Language Learner students, and its increased resource allocation, with per-student spending rising and student-teacher ratio decreasing in recent years. However, these improvements have not yet translated into substantial improvements in overall academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's challenges.
