Elementary Schools in Mount Vernon School District

Summary:

The Mount Vernon School District in New York is home to 12 elementary schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through 8th. The district as a whole is ranked 644 out of 865 in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. However, a closer look at the data reveals some standout schools within the district.

Lincoln School stands out as the highest-ranked elementary school in the district, ranked 662 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools. It consistently performs well on state assessments, often exceeding district and state averages, and has impressive proficiency rates on Regents exams. Traphagen School and Mount Vernon Honor Academy also demonstrate strong academic performance, ranking 1,015 and 1,536 respectively out of 2,445 New York elementary schools.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the district. While some schools excel, others, such as Edward Williams School, Graham School, and Cecil H. Parker School, struggle with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. This suggests that a more comprehensive approach to education, addressing factors such as socioeconomic status, may be necessary to drive meaningful and sustainable improvements across the Mount Vernon School District.
