Summary

Silver Creek Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Silver Creek Central School District in New York, with 218 students and a student-teacher ratio of 7.3. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the state and its nearby peers, such as Frontier Middle School and Fredonia Middle School, on standardized tests.

In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.53% of 6th graders, 33.33% of 7th graders, and 34.43% of 8th graders at Silver Creek Middle School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 50.86%, 50.99%, and 52.38% respectively. The school also struggles in math, with only 50% of 6th graders, 40% of 7th graders, and 32.56% of 8th graders reaching proficiency, compared to the state averages of 51.2%, 56.47%, and 46.74%. This performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 10% of New York middle schools for female students, male students, white students, and students with special needs in both subjects.

However, Silver Creek Middle School does perform well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Living Environment and 93.33% proficiency in Algebra I in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly outperforming the state averages. This suggests the school may be effective in preparing students for these high-stakes exams. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 56.42% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, likely contributes to the academic challenges the school faces. Addressing the needs of this population may be crucial for improving the school's overall performance.
