Summary:
The Pawling Central School District has one elementary school, Pawling Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it underperforms the state average on several key academic measures.
Pawling Elementary School has 389 students and is ranked 1475 out of 2445 New York elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. On the 2023-2024 New York State Assessments, the school's proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math were below the state averages. The school's 2022-2023 proficiency rates were slightly higher but still below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a 36.25% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, its academic outcomes do not appear to be commensurate with these resource inputs. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's underperformance, such as curriculum, instructional practices, teacher quality, or other school-level factors, may be warranted to identify areas for improvement and help the school better serve its students.
