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 grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 787 students. Based on the available data, Midlakes Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer, with a declining statewide ranking and below-average proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages.

Midlakes Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 27.78% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 42.6% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (50.06%), indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,029, which is above the state average, its academic performance has not kept pace.

The data suggests that Midlakes Elementary School faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The school's declining statewide ranking and below-average test scores suggest that the district and school leadership will need to address factors such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership to help the school improve. While the low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1 is generally considered a positive factor, it alone does not appear to be enough to overcome the school's other challenges.
