Summary

Iroquois Middle School is a public middle school located in Elma, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 482 students. The school is part of the Iroquois Central School District. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, it continues to have some notable strengths, particularly in math performance and Regents exam results.

Iroquois Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in math proficiency, with 63.46% of 6th graders and 57.76% of 7th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 51.2% and 56.47%, respectively. The school also excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I, Living Environment, and Earth and Space Sciences. However, the school struggles in 8th grade math, with only 6.12% proficient compared to the state average of 46.74%. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 20.3% to 21.11% over the past three years, which is lower than many of the nearby schools.

When compared to higher-performing schools in the region, such as Orchard Park Middle School and East Aurora Middle School, Iroquois Middle School lags behind in several key metrics, including overall state ranking and proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. The school's significant increase in spending per student, from $12,853 in 2021-2022 to $26,527 in 2023-2024, may provide an opportunity to invest in targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across all subgroups.
