Summary

Greenwood Lake Middle School is a public middle school located in Monroe, New York, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 256 students. The school is part of the Greenwood Lake Union Free School District, which is ranked 184 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenwood Lake Middle School consistently performs well above the state average in New York State Assessments across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 92.86% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50.99%. In math, the school had 94.12% of 7th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 56.47%. The school also has a 100% proficiency rate in both the Regents Living Environment and Algebra I exams, significantly higher than the state averages of 56.7% and 56.07%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a relatively high spending per student, with $50,416 in the 2023-2024 school year, and a low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, both of which are likely contributing factors to its strong academic performance.

While James A Farley Elementary School, Pomona Middle School, and other nearby schools in the Haverstraw-Stony Point Central School District and the East Ramapo Central School District have lower-performing schools, Greenwood Lake Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in New York. This exceptional performance is likely due to a combination of factors, including the school's focus on student-centered learning, effective instructional practices, and the district's commitment to providing a high-quality education to all students.
