Summary:
The city of Glasco, New York has only one public elementary school, Riccardi Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Saugerties Central School District. Riccardi Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding state and district averages, while others fall short. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges.
Riccardi Elementary School's performance on the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math is inconsistent, with 4th and 6th grade ELA scores closer to or exceeding state and district averages, while other grades lag behind. In Math, 4th and 5th grade students outperform the state and district averages. In Science, the 5th grade proficiency rate is slightly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the inconsistent academic performance suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to ensure more equitable and consistent outcomes for all students. Additionally, the school's socioeconomic challenges may require additional support and resources to address the needs of its student population.
