Summary

Letchworth Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Letchworth Central School District in Gainesville, NY. The school has 261 students and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with the district as a whole ranked 568 out of 874 in New York and also rated 2 stars.

Letchworth Middle School faces several key challenges, including consistently lower proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments compared to state averages, especially in math. The school also struggles with performance gaps across different student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students all below the state averages. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 and high spending per student of $24,538 in 2023-2024, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 508 out of 1,429 in 2015-2016 to 781 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025.

Interestingly, Letchworth Middle School students perform exceptionally well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Algebra I and Living Environment in recent years, significantly outperforming the state averages. However, when compared to nearby middle schools like Pioneer Middle School, Attica Junior High School, Dalton-Nunda Middle School, and Warsaw Middle School, Letchworth Middle School generally has lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking, despite its lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student.
