Summary:
The Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District has only one middle school, Maryvale Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been mixed, with some areas of strength but also challenges in consistently meeting state standards.
Maryvale Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 746 out of 1,500 New York middle schools in 2022-2023 to 814 out of 1,479 in 2021-2022. The school's performance on state assessments is varied, with some subject areas and grade levels performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. For example, the school's proficiency rates in 8th grade Science (48.8%) and on Regents exams for Living Environment and Algebra I (100%) are significantly higher than the state averages, but its ELA and Math proficiency rates in some grade levels are lower than the state's.
The school has a relatively small student population of 478 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, which may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and targeted interventions. However, the school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with a 50% free and reduced-price lunch rate, which may indicate the need for additional resources and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities. Overall, Maryvale Middle School has some areas of strength, but also faces challenges in consistently meeting state standards, which may require further analysis and targeted interventions to improve the school's overall academic performance.
