Summary:
The Middletown City School District in New York is home to three elementary schools: Presidential Park Elementary School, Maple Hill Elementary School, and William A Carter School. While the district as a whole underperforms the state average, William A Carter School stands out as the highest-performing school, outpacing the district and state in several key academic areas.
William A Carter School boasts the highest 5th grade Math proficiency rate at 45.54%, compared to the district average of 31.84% and the state average of 48.93%. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. In contrast, Maple Hill Elementary School and Presidential Park Elementary School struggle to meet state averages in academic proficiency, despite Maple Hill's lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending.
The data suggests that the Middletown City School District faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.93% to 79.74%. This indicates a need to address these challenges through targeted interventions and support programs to improve overall academic performance across the district. Additionally, the variation in resource allocation, such as spending per student and student-teacher ratios, suggests the district may need to re-evaluate its approach to ensure equitable distribution and optimal utilization of funds.
