Elementary Schools in Amsterdam City School District

Summary:

The Amsterdam City School District in New York is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools in this district generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, one school, the Marie Curie Institute Of Engineering And Communication, stands out as the highest-performing among the 4 schools.

The Marie Curie Institute Of Engineering And Communication ranks 1479 out of 2445 New York elementary schools, the highest ranking in the district. It also has the strongest performance on state assessments, with the highest percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math across multiple grade levels. In contrast, the other 3 schools in the district - William B Tecler Arts In Education, Raphael J McNulty Academy For Intern Studies & Literacy, and William H Barkley Microsociety - all rank in the bottom half of New York elementary schools and generally perform below the state average on assessments.

The high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 55.75% to 60.66%, suggest a significant concentration of economically disadvantaged students across the district. Additionally, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, between 14.2 and 18.8, indicate that the district is investing resources in smaller class sizes, but this does not appear to be translating into higher test scores. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the district's challenges could help drive meaningful progress in improving the quality of education and student outcomes for all schools in the Amsterdam City School District.
