Summary

Washingtonville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Washingtonville Central School District, with 902 students. The school consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for ELA, Math, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade ELA proficiency rate was 39.69% compared to the state average of 52.38%.

Washingtonville Middle School also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom half of New York middle schools for Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. In contrast, nearby schools like Greenwood Lake Middle School, Haldane Middle School, and Cornwall Middle School consistently perform in the top quarter of New York middle schools and have much higher proficiency rates across subject areas.

Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, it continues to underperform, suggesting the school may not be allocating its resources effectively or may be facing other systemic challenges. Washingtonville Middle School's declining performance over time, from 681 out of 1,407 NY middle schools in 2014-2015 to 1,014 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, indicates the school is struggling to keep up with its peers and may require targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
