Middle Schools in Yorktown Central School District

Yorktown Central School District is home to one highly-ranked middle school, Mildred E Strang Middle School. This school has consistently performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 11% of all middle schools in New York state and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Mildred E Strang Middle School's students significantly outperform the state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, 72.22% of 8th grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 51.88%. In 8th grade Math, an impressive 90.86% of students were proficient or better, far exceeding the state average of 40.72%. The school also had 100% proficiency rates on the Regents exams for Living Environment and Algebra I.

While the school's academic performance is exceptional, the relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (14.36%) suggests the student population may lack socioeconomic diversity. This could raise questions about equity and access to the school's high-quality education for students from lower-income backgrounds. However, the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio indicate it has access to significant resources, which likely contribute to its strong academic outcomes.
