C J Hooker Middle School is a public middle school located in Goshen, NY, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 640 students. It is part of the Goshen Central School District, which is ranked 380 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

C J Hooker Middle School consistently outperforms the Goshen Central School District and the state of New York in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA ranged from 51.65% to 59.09%, compared to the district's 51.09% to 54.49% and the state's 50.86% to 52.38%. In Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 43.68% to 56.79%, compared to the district's 43.18% to 55.76% and the state's 46.74% to 56.47%. The school also excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Earth Science and Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the school performs well for many student subgroups, the lower performance for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds indicates a need to address achievement gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students. The school's relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on providing adequate resources and personalized attention to students, which may contribute to the school's overall academic success. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Crispell Middle School, Monroe-Woodbury Middle School, and Warwick Valley Middle School, C J Hooker Middle School generally outperforms many of its counterparts in academic performance, particularly in ELA and Math proficiency rates.
