Summary:
The Malone Central School District in New York is home to three elementary schools: Davis Elementary School, Saint Joseph's Elementary School, and Flanders Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face various challenges, including relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage within the district.
Among the three schools, Saint Joseph's Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with a ranking of 2040 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Saint Joseph's outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates, particularly in 3rd grade. In contrast, Flanders Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates in these subjects, despite having the highest per-student spending and the lowest student-teacher ratio among the three schools.
The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance between the schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes. The Malone Central School District faces socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting overall academic achievement, and there is an opportunity to identify and implement strategies to improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
