Summary:
The Moravia Central School District has only one elementary school, Millard Fillmore Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1473 out of 2434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1796 out of 2445 in 2023-2024, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Millard Fillmore Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the exception of 3rd-grade Math, where the school's proficiency rate is slightly higher. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate is also lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 50.9%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which is lower than the national average of around 16:1. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $15,547, which is higher than the national average of around $12,000 per student. To address the school's performance issues, the district may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate resources more effectively, and explore strategies to support the unique needs of their students.
