The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 28.2% to 42.37%, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 56.47%. However, the school performs exceptionally well on Regents exams, with proficiency rates of 94.57% in Algebra I and 75% in Earth and Space Sciences, significantly higher than the state and district averages. This stark contrast in performance suggests a potential disconnect between the curriculum and state assessment standards.
Lagrange Middle School also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with low rankings compared to other New York middle schools for African American, Hispanic, White, Multi-racial, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students. In contrast, the school's performance for Asian students is slightly better, ranking in the middle 50% of New York middle schools.

However, it remains to be seen if these investments will translate into improved academic outcomes, especially for the underperforming subgroups.
