There are a lot of disruptive students and some fights, but there are a lot of great teachers here. MOST of the staff don't take a lot of BS and fights are broken up pretty quickly, nothing usually gets too out of hand. I had a lot of fun going there.

This schools alright, its not great, but its alright, the teachers here are indeed hardworking, and they all weve their personalities into classes, making each class uniqe and interesting. Sometimes, yes, students are disruptive, infact, a large majority of the time they are, but this schools alright.

This is a horrible school. There are so many disruptive students and an extremely violent environment. There are an extreme amounts of violent acts with weapns and bullying and the district just turns a blind eye. Extremely frightning school!!

I am a teacher at Oneida Middle School. All of the teachers at Oneida are proud to work hard, prepare wonderful lessons and take extra time to work with students. This is a great school and it is on the rise! We are excited to meet our new students and make this a great year.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
