In contrast, W A Olmsted Elementary School has a high percentage of white students at 97.25%, significantly above the state average, but its proficiency rates in ELA and Math are generally below state and district averages.
Both schools serve a significant economically disadvantaged student population, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Harpursville Junior-Senior High School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.3, compared to 11.7 at W A Olmsted Elementary, which may contribute to its stronger performance on certain Regents exams. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.3% at the high school could be a factor impacting student achievement.
