Summary

Seneca Falls Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Seneca Falls, New York, with 271 students. The school is part of the Seneca Falls Central School District, which is ranked 714 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Seneca Falls Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments across English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 30.23% in 6th grade ELA, 36.36% in 7th grade ELA, and 27.27% in 8th grade Math, all well below the state averages. The school's rankings for certain student subgroups, such as female, Hispanic, special education, and economically disadvantaged students, are particularly low, often in the bottom 20% of New York middle schools. However, the school performs exceptionally well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Algebra I and Earth and Space Sciences in recent years, significantly outpacing the state and district averages.

Seneca Falls Middle School's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 504 out of 1,407 New York middle schools in 2014-2015 to 1,196 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend of worsening academic outcomes. The school is located within 20 miles of several higher-performing middle schools, such as Skaneateles Middle School and Union Springs Middle School, which consistently rank in the top 25% of New York middle schools. This suggests that students in the Seneca Falls area have access to better educational opportunities, but Seneca Falls Middle School is not providing the same level of quality.
