Summary:
The Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District has one middle school, William H Golding Middle School, serving grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than others compared to state averages. While the school's proficiency rates in 6th grade English Language Arts and 6th and 7th grade Math are on par with or higher than the state, its 7th and 8th grade ELA proficiency is significantly lower.
Socioeconomic factors appear to be a challenge for the school, with nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.7, and higher per-student spending of $15,541 may be attempts to address these challenges. The school's strong performance on Regents exams, such as Earth Science and Algebra I, suggests it has some areas of academic strength that could be leveraged to improve overall student outcomes.
Overall, William H Golding Middle School appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District, with a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. The school's challenges may be reflective of broader district-level or regional factors, and a more comprehensive and targeted approach to improving student outcomes across all grades and subjects could be beneficial.
