Summary

Maryvale Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District, with 494 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.5. While the school has been consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, a closer look reveals both challenges and opportunities.

Academically, Maryvale Middle School's performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 37.65% to 43.05% across grades 6-8, compared to the state average of 50.86% to 52.38%. In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 46% to 56.41%, also below the state average of 51.2% to 56.47%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Heim Middle School and Mill Middle School in the nearby Williamsville Central School District consistently outperforming Maryvale Middle School.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $23,859 at Maryvale Middle School, which is significantly higher than the state average, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect the level of resources available. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates and utilizes its financial resources to better support student learning, particularly for its diverse student population, which includes a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
