Summary

Blue Mountain Middle School is a public middle school located in Cortlandt Manor, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 528 students. The school is part of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District, which is ranked 375 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blue Mountain Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York middle schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 683 out of 1,500 middle schools in the state. The school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, particularly in math and science. However, the school's performance on English Language Arts assessments has been more variable, with proficiency rates ranging from 31.93% to 60.31% over the past three years, sometimes lagging behind the district and state. The school's diverse student population also shows notable performance differences across subgroups, with White and African American students generally performing better than the state averages for their respective subgroups, while Asian and Hispanic students tend to underperform compared to their peers statewide. English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status consistently rank in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools for their subgroups.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $36,760 in the 2023-2024 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, its overall academic performance is only in the middle range for New York middle schools. This may indicate a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices. Compared to nearby schools, Blue Mountain Middle School's performance is generally stronger than that of schools in the Ossining Union Free School District and Haverstraw-Stony Point Central School District, but lags behind higher-performing nearby districts, such as Chappaqua Central School District and Yorktown Central School District.
