Summary:
The Ellenville Central School District has only one elementary school, Ellenville 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, with performance on state assessments significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Math.
Ellenville Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 61.13% in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the district's higher-than-average spending per student at $21,615 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 14:1, the school's academic performance has remained low. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may need to be addressed.
While the data paints a picture of a consistently low-performing school, there may be opportunities for improvement. By analyzing the school's specific challenges and implementing targeted strategies, the district may be able to help Ellenville Elementary School move up in the state rankings and provide a higher-quality education for its students.
