Summary:
The Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District in New York has only one middle school, Griffith Institute Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, this middle school appears to be underperforming compared to district and state averages, with consistently lower proficiency rates on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas.
Griffith Institute Middle School's academic performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 454 out of 1,479 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,032 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this period. While the school's performance on Regents exams, such as Earth Science and Algebra I, is stronger with 100% proficiency rates, its struggles on state assessments, particularly in ELA, suggest a need for improvement in academic outcomes.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Griffith Institute Middle School, at 41.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, may indicate that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic performance. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 could be a positive factor, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that Griffith Institute Middle School is an underperforming school within the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District, with room for improvement in academic outcomes and addressing potential socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the school's challenges.
