Summary

Schalmont Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Schalmont Central School District in Schenectady, New York. With 555 students, the school is located approximately 5-10 miles from several other middle schools in the surrounding area.

Schalmont Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 494-1126 out of around 1500 middle schools statewide. Its performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from around 30-50% in ELA and Math. The school also struggles with significant achievement gaps across different student subgroups, with its rankings for Hispanic, White, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students often in the bottom 25-30% of middle schools statewide. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's overall performance lags behind many of its neighboring middle schools, such as Voorheesville Middle School, Farnsworth Middle School, and Van Antwerp Middle School, which all have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

One interesting finding is that Schalmont Middle School stands out for its strong performance on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Earth Science and Algebra I. This is in contrast to its lower performance on the state assessments, and understanding the factors that contribute to this success could provide insights into potential strategies for improving its overall academic outcomes.
