Summary

Malone Middle School is a public middle school in Malone, New York, serving 489 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Malone Central School District, which is ranked 813 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Malone Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York middle schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 18.18% to 28.32% in ELA and 3.85% to 26.56% in math, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 52.38% in ELA and 46.74% to 56.47% in math. The school's performance on Regents exams, such as Algebra I and Living Environment, is generally higher than its performance on the state assessments, but still lags behind the state average.

Malone Middle School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.6% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $29,261 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, the school is still underperforming, suggesting that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the specific needs of its student population or implementing evidence-based strategies to improve student learning. The lack of nearby high-performing comparison schools, such as Salmon River Middle School, makes it difficult to identify clear strategies for improvement.
