Summary:
The Pavilion Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, D B Bunce Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the past few years, ranging from 1501 out of 2434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1854 out of 2439 in 2022-2023, with a slight improvement to 1688 out of 2445 in 2023-2024.
D B Bunce Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally below the state averages, ranging from 17.02% to 41.18% for individual grade levels, compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 58.03%. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 40.43% is higher than the state average of 35%, indicating a potential area of strength. The school's student population of 317 includes a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 41.64%.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be allocating resources efficiently, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 and a per-student spending of $15,191 for the 2022-2023 school year. By understanding the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance, the Pavilion Central School District can develop targeted strategies to address the identified areas for improvement and build upon the school's strengths.
