Summary

Oswego Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Oswego City School District, with 575 students located in Oswego, NY. The district as a whole is ranked 699 out of 874 in New York and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Oswego Middle School consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates for ELA, Math, and Science assessments. However, the school stands out with exceptional Regents exam performance, achieving a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I and Living Science Biology, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. The school struggles to support certain student subgroups, with rankings for Hispanic, White, Multi-racial, Special Education, Economically Disadvantaged, and Homeless students all in the bottom half of New York middle schools.

Oswego Middle School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 797 out of 1,242 New York middle schools in 2020-2021 to 972 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025. The school's performance varies significantly across grade levels, and it generally underperforms compared to the nearby Emerson J Dillon Middle School and Red Creek Middle School. Despite a significant increase in spending per student, from $13,493 in 2020-2021 to $29,611 in 2023-2024, the additional funding does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes.
