The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $15,245 to $18,708 per student over the past few years, the school's academic outcomes do not seem to reflect the level of resources invested.

When compared to other middle schools in the Albany area, such as North Albany Academy Middle School, William S Hackett Middle School, and Bethlehem Central Middle School, Stephen And Harriet Myers Middle School performs significantly worse on state assessments and has a lower statewide ranking. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, coupled with its consistently low academic performance, suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in addressing the needs of its student population and improving educational outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
