Jamestown City School District

Summary:

The Jamestown City School District in New York consists of 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 781 out of 865 school districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in the quality of education provided to students.

Among the district's schools, a few stand out. Persell Middle School and Thomas Jefferson Middle School have the highest statewide rankings and proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the other middle schools. At the elementary level, Abraham Lincoln Elementary School has the highest statewide ranking and the highest proficiency rates on state assessments for grades 3 and 4.

However, the district faces significant challenges, with stark differences in academic performance between its highest-performing and lowest-performing schools. Jamestown High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be contributing to its lower performance on certain Regents exams. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the district suggest that the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may present unique challenges and require targeted interventions.
