Plattsburgh City School District

The Plattsburgh City School District in New York serves students from 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across the district, with the middle and high schools significantly outperforming the elementary schools on state assessments and Regents exams.

Stafford Middle School stands out as a top performer, with proficiency rates in math and science that exceed both the district and state averages. Similarly, Plattsburgh Senior High School demonstrates strong Regents exam performance, with several subject areas surpassing the state average. In contrast, the elementary schools in the district tend to have lower proficiency rates and underperform the state on most assessments.

The data also suggests that resource allocation may play a role in the performance differences, as the middle and high schools have higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the elementary schools. Additionally, the elementary and middle schools serve a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a factor in their lower academic achievement. Overall, the Plattsburgh City School District has opportunities for improvement across all grade levels to ensure equitable educational outcomes for all students.
