Catskill Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Catskill, NY, with 297 students. The school is part of the Catskill Central School District, which is ranked 640 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Catskill Middle School's academic performance is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas, as measured by state assessments. However, the school performs significantly better than the district and state averages in Regents exams, with proficiency rates of 95.65% in Living Environment and 90.91% in Algebra I in 2024-2025, compared to 56.7% and 56.07% statewide, respectively. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the top 50% of New York middle schools for Hispanic and White students, but in the bottom 15% for Multi-racial and Special Education students. Interestingly, the school's performance for English Language Learners is a standout, ranking in the top 15% of New York middle schools in 2023-2024.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $33,298 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, Catskill Middle School's overall academic performance is still below average, suggesting the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning. Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Ichabod Crane Middle School, which consistently outperforms Catskill Middle School, there may be opportunities for the school to learn from their practices and strategies to improve overall student outcomes.
