Summary:
The Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Oppenheim-Ephratah-St Johnsville Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools and has struggled to meet state performance averages on standardized tests.
Oppenheim-Ephratah-St Johnsville Elementary School's academic performance has been below the state average in both English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.15% to 47.06% compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 58.03%. The school's science proficiency rate for 5th grade was also lower than the state average, at 27.66% versus 35%. Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, suggesting that resources may be allocated more towards smaller class sizes rather than improving overall academic outcomes.
The school faces socioeconomic challenges, with 54.22% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This high percentage of students from low-income families may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles. To address these issues, the school and district will need to implement targeted interventions, curriculum and instructional changes, and provide additional support for students and teachers to drive progress and improve student achievement.
