Summary

Saugerties Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Saugerties Central School District, with 362 students. While the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, it has some notable strengths and areas for improvement.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance on Regents exams, particularly in Algebra I and Living Environment, where proficiency rates significantly exceed the state and district averages. However, the school's overall test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally below the state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly by student subgroup, with male students, Asian and multi-racial students, and general education students outperforming their counterparts.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Onteora Middle School and Bulkeley Middle School, Saugerties Junior High School generally performs in the middle to lower range. The school's relatively high per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio suggest that the resources may not be optimally allocated to provide the most personalized learning environment. Continued focus on improving test scores, supporting underperforming populations, and optimizing resource utilization could help the school improve its overall standing and provide a more equitable education for all students.
