The zip code 14136 is home to a single middle school, Silver Creek Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8 within the Silver Creek Central School District. While the school's performance on state assessments has been inconsistent, with some grades and subjects performing better than others, it has shown strength in its Regents exam results, particularly in Living Environment and Algebra I.
Silver Creek Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 1022 out of 1500 schools in 2022-2023 to 1284 out of 1504 schools in 2023-2024, and is currently ranked 1162 out of 1500 schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally below the state averages, but it performs better on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Living Environment and 93.33% proficiency in Algebra I in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 56.7% and 56.07%, respectively.
The school's higher-than-average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to the school, but this investment does not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to its relatively low performance on state assessments. Overall, the analysis of Silver Creek Middle School reveals a mixed picture, with the school showing both strengths and areas for improvement in its academic performance.
