Summary:
There is only one middle school located in zip code 13642 - Gouverneur Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Gouverneur Central School District. Based on the available data, Gouverneur Middle School appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools over the past three school years.
The school's test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.63% to 53.76% in English Language Arts and 28.17% to 54.88% in Math, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 56.61% and 46.74% to 56.47%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 62.86% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's higher spending per student of $27,572 in 2023-2024, which is above the state average, and its smaller student-teacher ratio of 9.7 in the same year, Gouverneur Middle School has not been able to effectively leverage these resources to improve student performance. The consistent underperformance and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population are areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to drive academic improvement at the school.
