Summary:
The Hannibal Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Fairley School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 804 out of 865 districts in New York and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Fairley School's performance on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math is significantly below the state average for both 3rd and 4th grades. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA was 14.29% for 3rd grade and 13.16% for 4th grade, compared to the state averages of 42.6% and 47.05%, respectively. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in Math was 20.29% for 3rd grade and 17.11% for 4th grade, compared to the state averages of 53.93% and 58.03%, respectively. Fairley School's performance has been consistently low, with its statewide ranking declining from 1980 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2403 out of 2445 in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 for the 2022-2023 school year and a high per-student spending of $14,133. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 69.23% in the 2022-2023 school year. These factors suggest that the school and district may be facing significant challenges in addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors that contribute to the low academic performance of its students, and that targeted interventions and strategies are needed to improve student learning and achievement.
