Summary

Alden Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Alden Central School District, located in Alden, NY. With 338 students, the school has consistently strong test scores, outperforming the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.

While Alden Intermediate School performs well compared to some nearby schools, such as Ledgeview Elementary in the Clarence Central School District, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Sheridan Hill Elementary in the Clarence district. The school also faces challenges in addressing equity and inclusion, with significant performance gaps between male and female students, as well as lower rankings for special education and low socioeconomic status student groups.

The school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $11,092 in 2020-2021 to $19,469 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. This may indicate a concerted effort to improve the school's resources and educational offerings. However, despite the school's strong test scores, Alden Intermediate School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 5 years, suggesting that there is still room for improvement to reach the highest levels of performance.
