Summary:
The Marathon Central School District in New York consists of two schools: William Appleby Elementary School and Marathon High School. While the high school performs above state averages on academic assessments, the elementary school lags behind, particularly in English Language Arts. The district also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at both schools.
William Appleby Elementary School stands out for its relatively high percentage of white students (99.51%) compared to state averages, as well as its lower academic performance and per-student spending ($11,618) compared to the high school. In contrast, Marathon High School has higher academic performance, a moderate graduation rate (84.2%), and a higher per-student spending ($18,617) than the elementary school.
The analysis of the Marathon Central School District data highlights the need for a closer examination of the district's resource allocation, strategies to address the identified challenges, and efforts to improve student outcomes across all grade levels. The significant racial homogeneity and socioeconomic disparities within the district suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
