Summary

Milton L Olive Middle School is a public middle school located in Wyandanch, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 614 students. The school is part of the Wyandanch Union Free School District, which is ranked 847 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milton L Olive Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from 18-29% and 7-30% respectively, compared to state averages around 50%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female, male, and special education students. However, the school performs relatively better for English Language Learners and Hispanic students. Despite the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83-100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's spending per student has increased significantly in recent years, from around $15,600 in 2020-2021 to $37,970 in 2023-2024.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 13.7 over the past few years, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The consistently low performance of Milton L Olive Middle School suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students, and addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond just increased funding.
