Elementary Schools in Galway Central School District

Summary:

The Galway Central School District has one elementary school, Joseph Henry Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has 403 students. Based on the available data, Joseph Henry Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school, with academic proficiency rates exceeding state averages in English Language Arts and Math for most grade levels.

The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 604 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year indicate it is a high-quality institution. Joseph Henry Elementary School's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 28.54% suggests it may serve a more affluent student population compared to the state average. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the state average, which could contribute to its academic success.

While the school's performance is generally strong, there is one area for potential improvement - the 5th grade Math proficiency rate is lower than the state average. Overall, Joseph Henry Elementary School appears to be providing a quality education to its students, but further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors driving its performance and identify any opportunities for continued growth and improvement.
