Best Public Schools in Wilton, NY

The city of Wilton, New York has only one public elementary school, Ballard Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 309 students. Ballard Elementary School is part of the South Glens Falls Central School District, which is ranked 652 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ballard Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. The school's 3rd-grade ELA and math proficiency rates are higher than the district and state, indicating strong performance in the early grades. However, proficiency rates decline in the upper elementary grades, with 5th-grade ELA and science proficiency rates falling below the district and state averages. The school's free and reduced lunch rate of 32.36% suggests a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the lower proficiency rates in the upper grades.

Ballard Elementary School's spending per student ($13,788) is higher than the state average, but its performance is mixed compared to the district and state, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be influencing student outcomes. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 could be a positive factor, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, Ballard Elementary School appears to have some strengths, particularly in the early grades, but also faces challenges in maintaining high proficiency rates as students progress through the upper elementary grades.
