Summary

Batavia Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Batavia City School District in Batavia, New York, with a total enrollment of 612 students. The school district as a whole is ranked 612 out of 874 school districts in New York and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Batavia Middle School's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby middle schools like Churchville-Chili Middle School and Warsaw Middle School. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 31.58% in 8th grade to 51.8% in 6th grade, compared to the state average of 50.99% to 56.61%. In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 23.33% in 8th grade to 57.14% in 6th grade, compared to the state average of 46.74% to 54.16%.

While Batavia Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than some of the nearby middle schools, its academic performance is generally lower. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's performance. The data also indicates that the school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, particularly in comparison to nearby middle schools and the state average. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement.
