Elementary Schools in Phelps-Clifton Springs Central School District


Summary:

The Phelps-Clifton Springs Central School District has only one elementary school, Midlakes Elementary School, which serves students from the surrounding area. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.

Midlakes Elementary School has a student population that is predominantly White (90.6%), with a significant percentage (50.06%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a large population of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic challenge may be contributing to the school's academic struggles, as students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to learning and educational attainment.

The school's consistently low performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state average, is a significant concern. This underperformance has led to a declining statewide ranking, from 1800 out of 2201 schools in 2020-2021 to 2224 out of 2439 schools in 2022-2023. While the school is allocating significant resources to support its students, these efforts do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, presenting an opportunity for the school and district to evaluate their instructional practices and resource allocation to better support student learning.
