Top rankedMount Markham Middle School1214^th of 1,500 New York middle schools

Summary:

The 13491 zip code area is home to a single middle school, Mount Markham Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Mount Markham Central School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, it has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests, particularly in math and 8th grade English language arts.

Mount Markham Middle School's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments lag behind the state averages, with just 50% of 8th graders proficient in ELA compared to the state's 52.38%, and only 22.22% proficient in 8th grade math versus the state's 46.74%. However, the school performs better on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I. Despite the academic challenges, the school spends a relatively high $29,246 per student, which is significantly above the state average.

Overall, Mount Markham Middle School appears to be a low-performing institution, ranking in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools for the past three years. While the reasons for the school's underperformance are not entirely clear, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (54.64%) suggests the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes and potential areas for improvement.
