Summary

Cazenovia Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-7 in the Cazenovia Central School District, located in Cazenovia, NY. With 319 students, the school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of New York middle schools over the past 10 years, currently ranking 380 out of 1,500 middle schools in the state and earning a 4 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cazenovia Middle School's academic performance is a standout, with students consistently outperforming the state average on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, 62.79% of 6th graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 50.86%, and 70.73% were proficient in math compared to 51.2% statewide. However, the school's special education students lag behind, with the school ranking in the bottom 25% of NY middle schools for special education student performance in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 30.4% qualifying for free/reduced lunch in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of over 50%.

Cazenovia Middle School outperforms many nearby middle schools, such as Lincoln Middle School and Clary Middle School, which struggle with much lower academic proficiency rates. However, it lags behind high-performing schools like Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School and the middle schools in the Fayetteville-Manlius Central School District. The school's high per-student spending of $24,013 in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of around $15,000, may contribute to its strong academic performance, but the district should ensure these resources are being used effectively, especially for underperforming student groups.
