Summary:
The Lyncourt Union Free School District in New York consists of a single elementary school, Lyncourt School, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 406 students.
Lyncourt School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 17.5% to 52.5%, compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 51.88%. In math, the proficiency rates at Lyncourt School were even lower, ranging from 7.69% to 52.5%, compared to state averages of 53.93% to 57.08%. The school's performance on science assessments and Regents exams was also below the state averages.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($17,041) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 to 1, Lyncourt School's persistent academic challenges suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the low student outcomes. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.79% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the high-poverty student population.
