Summary:
With only one middle school located in the 12501 zip code, the educational landscape for this area is limited. Eugene Brooks Intermediate School serves as the sole middle school option for families in this region, which is part of the Northeast Central School District.
The performance of Eugene Brooks Intermediate School has been inconsistent, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating between a 2-star rating in 2024-2025 and a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. Student proficiency on state assessments is mixed, with some grades and subject areas performing above the district and state averages, while others struggle significantly. For instance, 8th grade ELA proficiency was 69.23% in 2024-2025, compared to the statewide average of 52.38%, but 7th grade ELA proficiency was only 22.22%, well below the 50.99% statewide average.
Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes do not necessarily reflect this investment. The school serves a high-need population, with a large percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Eugene Brooks Intermediate School is facing significant challenges in providing a consistently high-quality education to its students, and there is room for improvement in ensuring all students receive the support and resources they need to succeed.
