Eldred Central School District

The Eldred Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district - George Ross Mackenzie Elementary School and Eldred Junior-Senior High School. While the high school performs relatively well on Regents exams, the elementary school lags behind state averages on state assessments, suggesting a potential disconnect in the quality of education between the two school levels.

The data reveals that George Ross Mackenzie Elementary School has consistently low performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.92% to 54.17% across different grade levels and subjects, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Eldred Junior-Senior High School outperforms the state on Regents exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 37.5% to 86.67% across different subjects. However, the high school faces a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the district allocates more funding per student at the high school ($26,886) compared to the elementary school ($22,468), which may indicate a disparity in resource distribution. Addressing the root causes of the elementary school's underperformance and the high school's chronic absenteeism could be important priorities for the Eldred Central School District to ensure consistent quality of education across all grade levels.
