Summary

Oneida Middle School is a public middle school located in Schenectady, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 606 students. It is part of the Schenectady City School District, which is ranked 841 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oneida Middle School consistently performs below the state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 27.23% in 6th grade ELA, 24.64% in 7th grade ELA, and 28.04% in 8th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 50.86%, 50.99%, and 52.38%, respectively. The school's subgroup performance is also significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, Oneida Middle School has a relatively high spending per student, with $30,188 in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average, but the academic outcomes do not reflect this investment.

When comparing Oneida Middle School to other nearby schools in the Schenectady City School District, such as Mont Pleasant Middle School and Central Park Middle School, the academic performance is consistently lower across all grade levels and subject areas. This suggests that the challenges faced by Oneida Middle School are not unique to the school but are systemic within the district. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Oneida Middle School (over 70% in recent years) indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.
