Summary:

While the school has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 812 out of 1,504 New York middle schools, it demonstrates some notable strengths and areas for improvement.

One key strength of White Plains Middle School is its performance on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Geometry and 99.4% proficiency in Algebra I, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments are generally lower than the state and surrounding school districts. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and multi-racial students performing very well, while Asian, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students perform significantly worse.

White Plains Middle School is located in close proximity to several high-performing neighboring schools, such as Scarsdale Middle School and Rye Middle School, which rank among the top 5% of New York middle schools. This provides an opportunity for White Plains Middle School to learn from and collaborate with these successful schools to improve its own practices and outcomes, particularly in addressing the disparities in student performance across different subgroups and providing targeted support for underperforming students.

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.
