The Spencer-Van Etten Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating potential academic challenges for students. Over 51% of students at the school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high socioeconomic need that may impact academic performance.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, the school's spending per student of $13,496 is lower than the state average, which may contribute to the academic underperformance observed. While the favorable student-teacher ratio could be a positive factor, the school's consistently low statewide ranking and underperformance in academic assessments suggest that the school is facing significant challenges that need to be addressed to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
