Summary

Knox Middle School is a public middle school located in Johnstown, New York, serving 365 students in grades 5-7. The school is part of the Johnstown City School District, which is ranked 497 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Knox Middle School performs well academically, with its students generally scoring on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, particularly in Math. In the 2024-2025 school year, 72.07% of 7th-grade students at Knox Middle School were proficient or better in Math, compared to 56.47% for New York state. The school has a statewide ranking of 494 out of 1,500 New York middle schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the middle range compared to other middle schools in the state. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and Special Education students is relatively lower, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom half of New York middle schools.

Interestingly, Knox Middle School outperforms the nearby Canajoharie Middle School and Wilbur H. Lynch Literacy Academy in academic achievement, but the Fonda-Fultonville 5-8 School, located just 2.8 miles away, has higher rankings and test scores than Knox Middle School. This suggests that Knox Middle School could potentially learn from and collaborate with its higher-performing peer institution to address its own achievement gaps, particularly for its Hispanic and Special Education students.
