Summary

Linden Avenue Middle School is a public middle school located in Red Hook, New York, serving grades 6-9 with a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the Red Hook Central School District, which is ranked 316 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linden Avenue Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 6th grade ELA proficiency rate was 62.3% compared to the state average of 50.86%, and its 6th grade Math proficiency rate was 70% compared to the state average of 51.2%. Additionally, the school's students excel in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in both Living Environment and Algebra I in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state averages of 56.7% and 56.07%, respectively. However, the school's performance for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students has declined in recent years, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 20% of New York middle schools.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Bulkeley Middle School in the Rhinebeck Central School District, Linden Avenue Middle School generally outperforms its peers, particularly in academic proficiency rates and Regents exam performance. The school's high per-student spending of $34,146 in the 2023-2024 school year and low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 may be contributing factors to its academic success, but the school's challenges in supporting certain student subgroups suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
