Summary

Cairo-Durham Middle School is a public middle school serving 254 students in grades 6-8 in the Cairo-Durham Central School District located in Cairo, NY. The school has faced some challenges, with consistently underperforming student proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state average, though it has performed better in Science.

One area of concern is the significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups. Male students generally outperform female students, and white students perform better than Hispanic students. Students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds also tend to underperform compared to the overall school. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 750 out of 1,500 schools in 2024-2025 to 1,101 out of 1,500 schools in 2022-2023, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 1.

However, the school has also seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $15,870 in 2020-2021 to $32,957 in 2023-2024, which is higher than nearby schools like Saugerties Junior High School and Hudson Junior High School. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.9 in 2023-2024, which is lower than the nearby schools. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance and achievement gaps will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for all students.
