Summary

Seaford Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Seaford, New York, part of the Seaford Union Free School District. With 487 students, the school has consistently ranked among the top 300 middle schools in New York over the past 10 years, currently ranking 416 out of 1500 middle schools in the state.

Seaford Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in proficiency rates for the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 60.32% proficiency in 6th grade ELA, 46.88% in 7th grade ELA, and 70.37% in 8th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 50.86%, 50.99%, and 52.38%, respectively. Similarly, in Math, Seaford Middle School had proficiency rates of 65.22% in 6th grade, 59.68% in 7th grade, and 71.43% in 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 51.2%, 56.47%, and 46.74%. The school's students also excel in Regents exams, with 95.88% proficiency in Living Environment and 98.67% proficiency in Algebra I, significantly higher than the state averages.

While Seaford Middle School performs well overall, the data suggests some potential equity issues, with male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds lagging behind their peers in certain academic areas. This is an area the school may want to investigate further and address through targeted interventions. In comparison, the nearby Edmund W. Miles Middle School in the Amityville Union Free School District consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New York middle schools and has much lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math.
