The Penn Yan Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Penn Yan Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 1054 out of 2434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1221 out of 2445 in 2023-2024.
Penn Yan Elementary School's academic performance on state assessments is mixed compared to district and state averages. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average for 3rd and 4th grades, but above the state average for 5th grade. In Math, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average for 3rd grade, but above the state average for 4th and 5th grades. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate is slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (53.95% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
On a positive note, Penn Yan Elementary School has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.7, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $17,765, which is higher than the national average. However, further analysis is needed to determine how these funds are being utilized to drive student outcomes and address the school's areas for improvement, particularly in 3rd-grade ELA and Math performance.
