Summary:

The zip code 12095 is home to a single middle school, Knox Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. As part of the Johnstown City School District, Knox Middle School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 594 out of 1,504 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 494 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Knox Middle School performs on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math. For instance, in 2024-2025, the school's 7th grade Math proficiency rate was 72.07%, compared to the state average of 56.47%. However, the school's performance is still only average compared to the top-performing middle schools across New York state, indicating there may be room for improvement.

One notable aspect of Knox Middle School is its low free/reduced lunch rate of only 0.82% in 2023-2024, which is significantly lower than the state average. This suggests the school serves a more affluent student population. Additionally, the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($23,296 in 2023-2024) and low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1 may contribute to its academic performance. Overall, Knox Middle School appears to be a reasonably strong performer within its local context, but may not be a standout school when compared to the top-performing middle schools across New York state.
