Top rankedWest Middle School1299^th of 1,500 New York middle schools

Summary:

The 13905 zip code in Binghamton, New York is home to a single middle school, West Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, it is a low-performing institution, ranking 1299 out of 1500 New York middle schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Middle School's academic performance lags behind both the Binghamton City School District and the state of New York as a whole. In 8th grade English Language Arts, only 46% of students were proficient or better, compared to 41.22% for the district and 52.38% for the state. The school's 8th grade Math proficiency rate of 15.58% is also well below the district's 14.29% and the state's 46.74%. Additionally, the school serves a high-need student population, with 62.95% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's challenges, there are some positive factors, such as the low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1 and the high per-student spending of $30,100, which is significantly above the state average. However, these resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the students. Further investigation into the school's curriculum, teaching quality, and other factors may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and help West Middle School better serve its students.
