Summary

Robert Moses Middle School is a public middle school located in North Babylon, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,009 students. The school is part of the North Babylon Union Free School District, which is ranked 785 out of 874 districts in New York and has a rating of 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Robert Moses Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in various academic assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school's performance across different student subgroups is also concerning, as it ranks in the bottom half of New York middle schools for most student subgroups. Additionally, the school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a ranking of 647 out of 1,455 New York middle schools in 2016-2017 to a ranking of 1,367 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Candlewood Middle School (part of the Half Hollow Hills Central School District) and West Babylon Junior High School (part of the West Babylon Union Free School District), Robert Moses Middle School consistently underperforms in academic assessments and has a lower statewide ranking. Despite the school's increased per-student spending, from $12,258 in 2021-2022 to $31,790 in 2023-2024, the data does not indicate that this has led to improved academic outcomes for the students.
