Summary

Chestnut Hill Middle School is a public middle school in Liverpool, NY, serving 386 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Liverpool Central School District. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with stronger proficiency in Math but weaker results in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to state and district averages. While the school performs well for Female, Male, and Special Education students, it struggles with Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Multi-racial student groups.

Despite Chestnut Hill Middle School's relatively high per-student spending of $27,040, its academic outcomes are not significantly better than the district or state averages. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation. Comparing Chestnut Hill to other nearby middle schools, such as West Genesee Intermediate School and Soule Road Middle School, it appears to be performing at a similar or slightly lower level academically.

The school faces several challenges, including inconsistent academic performance and equity concerns. To address these issues, Chestnut Hill Middle School should focus on improving its ELA instruction and curriculum, investigate the root causes of the performance disparities across student subgroups, and learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing peers in the Liverpool Central School District and surrounding areas.
