Summary

Port Jervis Middle School is a public middle school serving 393 students in grades 6-8 in Port Jervis, New York, which is part of the Port Jervis City School District. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 36.91% to 46.02% in ELA and 29.66% to 38.82% in Math, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 52.38% and 51.2% to 56.47%, respectively.

Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $19,835 to $34,360 per student, and a low student-teacher ratio between 8.9 and 10.2 students per teacher, Port Jervis Middle School has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups. For instance, the school ranked in the top 25% of New York middle schools for English Language Learners (ELLs) but in the bottom 25% for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Warwick Valley Middle School, Port Jervis Middle School generally underperforms, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower.

However, Port Jervis Middle School has performed exceptionally well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I in recent years, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. The school also has a diverse student body, with significant populations of African American, Hispanic, and White students. To address the academic challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, reviewing curriculum and instructional practices, and exploring opportunities for collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools.
