Summary:
The Johnson City Central School District in New York is home to two elementary schools: Johnson City Elementary/Primary School (grades PK-2) and Johnson City Elementary/Intermediate School (grades 3-5). While both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, their academic performance on state assessments is consistently below the state average.
Across both schools, proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are substantially lower than the state benchmarks. For example, the 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate at Johnson City Elementary/Intermediate School was 26.32%, compared to the state average of 42.6%. Similarly, the 5th grade Math proficiency rate at the same school was 19.15%, well below the state average of 48.93%. This trend of underperformance is evident across multiple grade levels and subject areas, suggesting a systemic issue that requires further investigation and targeted interventions.
The financial data also reveals some disparities, with Johnson City Elementary/Primary School spending $16,025 per student, while Johnson City Elementary/Intermediate School spends $13,906 per student. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio varies between the two schools, with Johnson City Elementary/Primary School having a ratio of 16.9 and Johnson City Elementary/Intermediate School having a ratio of 18.7. These differences in resource allocation may be contributing to the inconsistent academic outcomes across the district's elementary schools.
