Summary:
The Peru Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Peru Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1490 out of 2434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1308 out of 2445 in 2023-2024.
Peru Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates in Math and Science are above the state average, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates and 3rd and 4th-grade Math proficiency rates are below the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with higher levels of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.2 is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $15,409, which is higher than the state average.
Overall, the data suggests that Peru Elementary School may need to focus on improving its academic performance, particularly in ELA and lower-grade Math, to better serve its students. The school's socioeconomic factors and higher-than-average spending may indicate a need for targeted interventions and resources to support student learning and address any underlying challenges facing the school community.
