Summary:
The city of Lansing, New York is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from the Lansing Central School District as well as the New York State Office Of Children And Family Services (Ocfs). The data reveals that Raymond C Buckley Elementary School is a standout, consistently ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools and boasting significantly above-average test scores, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math. Meanwhile, Lansing High School maintains a respectable statewide ranking, despite a recent drop from 4 stars to 3 stars, and has a strong 91.6% four-year graduation rate.
Across the Lansing schools, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 76.78% to 77.28%, with relatively low percentages of minority students. The schools also serve a relatively affluent student body, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 29.5% to 33.06%, well below the state average. This affluence is reflected in the schools' high per-student spending, which ranges from $16,291 to $18,978, and their low student-teacher ratios, which fall between 9.7 and 11.5.
While the Lansing schools generally perform well, with the exception of 7th grade ELA at Lansing Middle School, the district may want to consider addressing the lack of racial diversity and the declining ranking at Lansing High School. By addressing these areas, the Lansing schools can continue to provide a high-quality education to their students and ensure that all learners have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.
