Summary

Cleveland Hill Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Cheektowaga, NY, with 315 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Hill Union Free School District, which is ranked 536 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Cleveland Hill Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools over the past 10 years, it has some strengths. The school performs better in certain subject areas, such as 7th grade Math and Regents exams like Algebra I and Living Environment. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in ELA and Math are generally below the state and district averages. The school has a relatively high per-student spending of $25,942 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, which may contribute to its performance.

Nearby schools like Heim Middle School, Mill Middle School, and Amherst Middle School consistently outperform Cleveland Hill Middle School on state assessments and have higher overall rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. By addressing areas of concern and building on its strengths, Cleveland Hill Middle School has the potential to improve its overall performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
