Summary:
The city of Pulaski, New York is home to two schools: Pulaski Middle-High School and Pulaski Elementary School, both part of the Pulaski Central School District. While the schools share a predominantly white student population, they exhibit some notable differences in academic performance, graduation rates, and student demographics.
Pulaski Middle-High School stands out with an impressive 97.0% 4-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below state averages, except for 7th grade math. In contrast, Pulaski Elementary School has a higher percentage of students (54.1%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a larger economically disadvantaged population, and its proficiency rates are also below state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
The data also reveals a disparity in per-student spending, with Pulaski Middle-High School spending $16,604 per student compared to $13,832 per student at Pulaski Elementary School. This difference in resource allocation may be an area for the Pulaski Central School District to examine to ensure equitable support for all students.
