Elementary Schools in Beacon City School District

Summary:

The Beacon City School District in New York is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, two schools stand out as top performers in the district: J.V. Forrestal Elementary School and South Avenue School.

J.V. Forrestal Elementary School is the highest-ranked school in the district, placing 1,102 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year. It consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with particularly strong science proficiency in 5th grade. South Avenue School is the second-highest ranked, placing 1,166 out of 2,445 schools, and demonstrates impressive Math proficiency, especially in 3rd grade.

While the other two elementary schools in the district, Glenham School and Sargent School, do not stand out as strongly, the district appears to allocate resources evenly across all four schools, with similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios. However, the varying percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest that the schools serve student populations with different socioeconomic backgrounds, which may impact their academic performance.
