Summary

Little Falls Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Little Falls City School District in New York, with 234 students. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools over the past 10 years, it has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $13,171 in 2020-2021 to $32,420 in 2023-2024, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 8.9 students per teacher.

Academically, Little Falls Middle School's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math ranging from 45-55% in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 50-56%. However, the school performs better on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I in recent years, exceeding the state and district averages. Nearby schools, such as Perry Junior High School, Mount Markham Middle School, and Frankfort-Schuyler Middle School, generally outperform Little Falls Middle School on state assessments and have higher rankings.

The school has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44-61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. However, the significant increase in per-student spending and the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement if these resources are leveraged effectively.
