Summary

Olean Intermediate-Middle School is a public alternative school serving grades 3-8 in the Olean City School District, with 544 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9.1. The school has a high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 56.99% to 59.38% over the past few years, and its spending per student has increased significantly, from $13,586 in 2020-2021 to $26,180 in 2023-2024.

Despite the higher spending, Olean Intermediate-Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency is projected to be 27.07% compared to the state average of 54.07%, and its 6th grade Math proficiency is projected to be 54.55% compared to the state average of 51.2%. In comparison, the nearby Friendship Central School and Hinsdale Central School generally outperform Olean Intermediate-Middle School in terms of test scores and graduation rates.

The high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at Olean Intermediate-Middle School indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive and data-driven approach to improve student outcomes and ensure the school is effectively utilizing its resources.
