Best Public Schools in Caroga Lake, NY

Summary:

The city of Caroga Lake, New York has only one school, Wheelerville School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 117 students. The school is part of the Wheelerville Union Free School District, which is ranked 444 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating.

While Wheelerville School has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.9, it faces several challenges. The school's academic performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade, only 64.29% of students were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 55.2%. Additionally, the school has a very homogeneous student population, with 94.87% of students identifying as white, and nearly half (47.01%) of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the academic performance concerns and the high poverty rates, Wheelerville School spends a relatively high amount per student ($19,219) compared to the state average. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation. Overall, the data suggests that Wheelerville School faces several challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the school's performance and resource allocation warrant further investigation and potential intervention to improve student outcomes.
