Summary:
The Lakeland Central School District in New York is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Lincoln Titus Elementary School, and George Washington Elementary School standing out as the top-performing schools in the district.
Benjamin Franklin Elementary School ranks the highest among the 5 schools, placing 426 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools in 2023-2024. It consistently achieves high proficiency rates on state assessments, with 60-80% of students meeting or exceeding standards in ELA and Math. In contrast, Van Cortlandtville School has the lowest proficiency rates, with several grade levels falling below 50% in ELA and Math.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a significant role in student performance, as schools with lower rates of free/reduced lunch, such as Benjamin Franklin Elementary and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, tend to have higher proficiency rates. The data also suggests that simply increasing spending per student may not be the sole solution, as Van Cortlandtville School, which has the highest spending per student, performs the lowest among the 5 schools.
