Kenney Middle School

Summary:

Kenney Middle School is a public middle school located in Hannibal, New York, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 346 students. The school is part of the Hannibal Central School District, which is ranked 804 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kenney Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools, ranking between 989 and 1250 out of around 1500 middle schools in the state over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kenney Middle School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York state assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 22% to 35% in English Language Arts and 27% to 35% in Math, compared to the state averages of 43% to 52% in ELA and 41% to 57% in Math. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, Kenney Middle School has achieved 100% proficiency rates on the Living Environment and Algebra I Regents exams, significantly outperforming the district and state averages.

When comparing Kenney Middle School to nearby middle schools, such as Mexico Middle School, Jordan-Elbridge Middle School, and Emerson J. Dillon Middle School, it becomes evident that Kenney's academic performance is generally lower. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Kenney Middle School, which is significantly higher than the state average, may be a contributing factor to the school's struggles. Additionally, the school's low ranking within the Hannibal Central School District suggests systemic challenges that need to be addressed.

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.
