Summary:
Saranac Community Schools has one elementary school, Saranac Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6. The school's student population is predominantly White (91.47%), with a significant portion (53.69%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need for additional support and resources.
Academically, Saranac Elementary School's performance on the M-Step assessments is mixed, with strengths in Math and Science but lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4% is also higher than the state's average, which may be contributing to the academic challenges. The district should consider addressing attendance issues and aligning instructional practices to improve student outcomes.
Despite the school's economic and academic challenges, it appears to be allocating resources effectively, with a student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and spending $13,883 per student. However, the district may want to explore ways to further optimize these metrics and provide additional support to the school's diverse student population, particularly those from low-income families, to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
