Summary

Center Moriches Middle School is a public middle school serving 296 students in grades 6-8 in the Center Moriches Union Free School District in Center Moriches, New York. While the school excels in Regents exam performance, particularly in Earth Science and Algebra I, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math.

The school's proficiency rates on the state assessments are significantly below the state averages, with 6th grade ELA at 27.08% (vs. 50.86% state), 7th grade ELA at 41.46% (vs. 50.99% state), and 8th grade ELA at 23.68% (vs. 52.38% state). In Math, the school's performance is also below the state, with 6th grade at 41.67% (vs. 51.2% state), 7th grade at 51.28% (vs. 56.47% state), and 8th grade at 25% (vs. 46.74% state). The school's rankings for female, Hispanic, and special education students are particularly low, with the Hispanic student group ranking in the bottom 15% of New York middle schools in recent years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as the higher-performing East Moriches School, Center Moriches Middle School generally underperforms across all grade levels and subject areas on the state assessments. However, the school's strengths in Regents exam performance suggest it may be effective in preparing students for advanced coursework and assessments.
