Summary:
The Dolgeville Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Dolgeville Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant challenges in improving student outcomes.
Dolgeville Elementary School's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and math that are 20-30 percentage points lower than the state averages. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 22% is also well below the state average of 35%. These achievement gaps suggest that the school may be struggling to provide the necessary support and resources to help students achieve at high levels.
The school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 62.91% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $8,703 for the 2022-2023 school year is below the state average, which may contribute to the school's relatively low performance. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving teaching and learning, providing targeted support for students, and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities.
