Summary

Ardsley Middle School is a public middle school serving 766 students in grades 5-8 in the Ardsley Union Free School District in Ardsley, New York. This exceptional institution has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 47-96 over the past 10 years and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ardsley Middle School's academic performance is truly impressive, with students consistently outperforming the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 85.41% of 5th graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 56.61%, and 95.96% of 7th graders were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 56.47%. The school also excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Earth and Space Sciences in 2024-2025, significantly outpacing the state averages.

While Ardsley Middle School's performance is exceptional, it is worth noting that some nearby schools, such as Scarsdale Middle School and Irvington Middle School, rank even higher in the state. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Ardsley Middle School to learn from the practices and strategies of these top-performing institutions. Additionally, Ardsley Middle School's high spending per student ($30,405 in 2023-2024) raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the potential for other schools to achieve similar results with more modest budgets.
