Summary

Red Jacket Middle School is a public middle school located in Shortsville, NY, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 160 students. It is part of the Manchester-Shortsville Central School District, which is ranked 570 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Red Jacket Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments often 10-20 percentage points lower than the state average in English Language Arts and Math. However, the school performs relatively well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Living Environment and Algebra I in recent years, exceeding the state and district averages. The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, and a higher percentage of special education students compared to the state.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Martha Brown Middle School and Johanna Perrin Middle School, Red Jacket Middle School generally performs worse on state assessments. However, the school's smaller size and lower student-teacher ratio may provide opportunities for more personalized instruction and support, which could be leveraged to improve overall academic performance.
