Best Public Schools in Big Flats, NY

Summary:

The city of Big Flats, New York is home to a single elementary school, Big Flats School, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 388 students. The school is part of the Horseheads Central School District, which is ranked 416 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Big Flats School has some bright spots, such as higher 4th grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the district and state averages, the overall academic performance and declining ELA proficiency trends over the past three years are areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (30.15%), which suggests lower socioeconomic status and can impact academic performance.

Despite the school's above-average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, which indicate access to more resources compared to the state average, the academic performance data suggests there may be opportunities to optimize the use of these resources to better support student learning. Overall, the analysis of Big Flats School reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, providing important insights for the school and district to consider in their efforts to enhance educational outcomes for the students.
