Summary:
The Liverpool Central School District in New York is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant variation in the academic performance of these schools, with some standouts like Soule Road Elementary School and Morgan Road Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency.
Soule Road Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the district, consistently placing in the top 50% of New York elementary schools over the past 3 years. This school also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, which may contribute to its academic success. Similarly, Morgan Road Elementary School performs better than the district average, particularly in 4th-grade test scores, and has a student-teacher ratio below the district average.
While the district as a whole is ranked 532 out of 865 school districts in New York and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the data highlights the importance of understanding school-level factors beyond just district-level resources and policies. The varying free/reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggest that socioeconomic status and other school-specific characteristics may be influencing student outcomes. By identifying and sharing the successful strategies of the high-performing schools, the district could potentially raise the academic achievement of all its students.
