Batavia Middle School

Summary:

Batavia Middle School is a public middle school serving 595 students in grades 5-8 in the Batavia City School District in Batavia, New York. The school's academic performance is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in math, where only 20.41% of 8th graders were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 40.72% statewide.

However, Batavia Middle School does have some areas of strength, such as 8th grade science (52.17% proficient or better) and Regents exams like Living Environment (94.12% proficient) and Algebra I (100% proficient). The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 15% of New York middle schools for its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $18,709 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2, the school's overall academic performance suggests potential challenges in effectively allocating resources and targeting interventions.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Akron Middle School, which consistently outperforms Batavia Middle School across multiple subject areas and student subgroups, Batavia Middle School generally performs worse on state assessments and has a lower overall ranking from SchoolDigger.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
