Best Public Schools in Slaterville Springs, NY

Summary:

The city of Slaterville Springs, New York is home to a single school, Caroline Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Ithaca City School District. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in the lower grades. However, the school appears to have adequate resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and above-average spending per student compared to other elementary schools in the district.

Academically, Caroline Elementary School lags behind the Ithaca City School District and New York state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with a few exceptions in 5th-grade performance. The school's free and reduced lunch rate of 32.08% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Despite these performance issues, the school has been ranked 1359 out of 2439 New York elementary schools for the 2022-2023 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Over the past three school years, Caroline Elementary School's ranking within the state has declined, from 1081 out of 2201 schools in 2020-2021 to 1359 out of 2439 schools in 2022-2023. This downward trend in the school's relative performance compared to other elementary schools in New York is an area of concern that warrants further investigation by the school and district leadership. Addressing the factors contributing to the school's academic challenges and improving student outcomes should be a priority for the community.
