Summary:
The city of Lake Katrine, New York is home to two schools: M Clifford Miller Middle School and E R Crosby Elementary School, both part of the Kingston City School District. The data shows a clear performance gap between the two schools, with E R Crosby Elementary significantly outperforming M Clifford Miller Middle School on state assessments.
E R Crosby Elementary School stands out as the stronger-performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, better proficiency rates on state assessments, and stronger academic outcomes across grades 3 and 4. In contrast, M Clifford Miller Middle School has struggled with low proficiency rates, often well below district and state averages, particularly in Math. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over time, suggesting a concerning trend of declining performance.
Both schools face challenges related to high poverty levels, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This likely presents obstacles in providing the necessary resources and support for students. Understanding the factors contributing to E R Crosby Elementary's success could provide valuable insights for the district, while further investigation is warranted to address the declining performance at M Clifford Miller Middle School.
