Fredonia Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in math proficiency, with 7th and 8th-grade students scoring significantly higher than the state. In English Language Arts (ELA), the school's 7th-grade students perform better than the state average, while 5th and 6th-grade students lag behind. The school's Regents exam performance is exceptional, with 100% proficiency in both Living Environment and Algebra I, significantly higher than the state averages. However, the school's Hispanic, Special Education, and low-socioeconomic status student groups perform below the state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address achievement gaps.

Compared to the nearby middle schools, such as William G Houston Middle School, Gowanda Middle School, and Silver Creek Middle School, Fredonia Middle School generally outperforms them in both ELA and math proficiency, as well as Regents exam performance. The school's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to its relatively stronger academic outcomes.

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.
