Elementary Schools in Chateaugay Central School District

The Chateaugay Central School District has only one elementary school, Chateaugay Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 316 students. While the school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, it faces some significant challenges that may be impacting student outcomes.

Chateaugay Elementary School's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA) where the school outperforms the state. However, the school struggles in other grades and subject areas, particularly in Math and 5th grade Science, where proficiency rates are significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it appears to have a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to state averages. This suggests that the school may be allocating resources in a way that has not yet translated into improved student outcomes. The data indicates that Chateaugay Elementary School faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, which may require a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting economically disadvantaged students.
