Summary

St Lawrence Middle School is a public middle school in Brasher Falls, NY, serving 309 students in grades 5-8 and part of the Brasher Falls Central School District.

Academically, St Lawrence Middle School has struggled compared to the state average, with only 28.36% to 37.65% of students proficient or better in ELA and 37.31% to 64.29% in Math, significantly lower than the New York state averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% for special education students and bottom 20% for low socioeconomic status students. Over the years, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 396 out of 1,429 New York middle schools in 2015-2016 to 795 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 4 stars to just 2 stars.

However, the school stands out for its high performance on Regents exams, with 100% of students proficient or better in Living Environment and Algebra I in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio has decreased from 10.7 in 2021-2022 to 9.5 in 2023-2024, indicating a potential increase in resources and support for students. Compared to nearby schools like Salmon River Middle School, A.A. Kingston Middle School, and Norwood-Norfolk Middle School, which outperform St Lawrence Middle School on academic measures, the school faces significant challenges that warrant further examination and support.
