Summary

Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School is a high-performing public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Jamesville-Dewitt Central School District. With a student population of 714, the school has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in New York state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 137 out of 1,504 middle schools statewide.

Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School significantly outperforms the state average on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, 83.54% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 56.61%, and 82.91% were proficient or better in math, compared to 54.16% statewide. The school's high per-student spending of $27,230 in 2023-2024 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 likely contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

While Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School performs well overall, there are some disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. The school's White and Multi-racial students rank particularly high compared to their peers statewide, but the performance of Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students is more mixed. This suggests the need to further investigate and address any underlying factors that may be contributing to these achievement gaps. Nonetheless, Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School remains a model of excellence, significantly outperforming many of the nearby middle schools, including those in the Syracuse City School District.
