Summary

Copiague Middle School is a public middle school serving 1,077 students in grades 6-8 in the Copiague Union Free School District in Copiague, New York. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with proficiency rates well below the state average. This has contributed to the school's low statewide ranking, typically in the bottom third of New York middle schools, and a 1 or 2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Copiague Middle School's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with African American and White students tending to perform better than Hispanic and Asian students. The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.42% to 59.98% in recent years. However, the district has invested more resources into the school, with per-student spending increasing from $16,024 in 2020-2021 to $37,914 in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby middle schools such as Seaford Middle School, Berner Middle School, and West Babylon Junior High School, Copiague Middle School's performance lags behind, with higher academic proficiency rates, better statewide rankings, and lower percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch. While Copiague Middle School students perform relatively well on Regents exams, the school's inconsistent performance over the years suggests the need for more comprehensive strategies to drive sustainable improvement.
