Top rankedOtto L Shortell Middle School1396^th of 1,500 New York middle schools

Summary:

The 13163 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Otto L Shortell Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 367 students. The school is part of the Oneida City School District, which is ranked 753 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Otto L Shortell Middle School performs better than the district and state averages on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 66.67% proficiency in Living Environment Biology, the school's proficiency rates on the 2024-2025 New York State Assessments are significantly lower than the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate was 28.83% compared to the state average of 52.38%. This suggests that the school may be struggling to prepare students for these standardized tests.

The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 46.32% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the lower academic performance, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average at $16,677. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, which could indicate that students benefit from more individualized attention and support. Addressing the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population and identifying effective instructional strategies may be key areas of focus for the school and district to improve academic achievement.
