Sagamore Middle School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages.

However, the school's performance in science and Regents exams (Earth Science and Algebra I) is generally stronger, with proficiency rates exceeding both the district and state averages.

Sagamore Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups.
