Summary:
The Northern Adirondack Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Northern Adirondack Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1578 out of 2434 schools in 2021-2022 to 1834 out of 2445 schools in 2023-2024.
Northern Adirondack Elementary School's academic performance on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math is generally below the state averages across grades 3-5. In 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 25.86% (5th grade) to 42.31% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 42.6% (3rd grade), 47.05% (4th grade), and 43.68% (5th grade). Similarly, the school's Math proficiency rates ranged from 21.31% (5th grade) to 41.77% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 53.93% (3rd grade), 58.03% (4th grade), and 48.93% (5th grade). The school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate of 20.34% in 2023-2024 is also significantly lower than the state average of 35%.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,888 in 2022-2023, which is above the state average, the school faces challenges related to its student population. The school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 52.2% in 2022-2023, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11:1 in 2022-2023 is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively small class size, but the declining academic performance suggests that the school may need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population.
