Summary

Gillette Road Middle School is a public middle school located in Cicero, New York, serving grades 4-7 with a total enrollment of 1,025 students. The school is part of the North Syracuse Central School District, which is ranked 630 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gillette Road Middle School consistently outperforms the North Syracuse Central School District and the state of New York in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments across all grade levels. The school also ranks highly for African American and Hispanic students, often placing in the top 200-300 middle schools in New York. However, the school struggles with Asian and English Language Learner (ELL) student performance, ranking in the bottom half of the state. Gillette Road Middle School has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $11,861 in the 2020-2021 school year to $23,288 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the district's spending per student.

Compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Syracuse Stem at Blodgett and Roxboro Road Middle School, Gillette Road Middle School stands out with its higher academic performance, lower student-teacher ratio, and higher spending per student. This suggests the school may be providing a more resource-rich environment for its students. However, the school's challenges with Asian and ELL student performance, as well as the district's overall low ranking, present areas for continued improvement and targeted support.
