Summary:
The Plattsburgh City School District in New York is home to three elementary schools: Arthur P Momot Elementary School, Thomas E Glasgow Elementary School, and Oak Street School. While the schools share similar funding and staffing levels, the data reveals significant performance differences, with Oak Street School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math.
Oak Street School stands out as the top performer, with 46.43% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 48.21% proficient or better in math, compared to the district averages of 38.3% and 38.3% respectively. In contrast, the other two elementary schools have relatively low proficiency rates. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be contributing to the differences in academic outcomes across the district.
The data also reveals high free and reduced lunch rates, especially at Arthur P Momot Elementary School, indicating that the district may be serving a large population of economically disadvantaged students. This raises questions about equity in resource allocation and support for these high-need schools. Overall, the findings suggest that while Oak Street School is a standout performer, the Plattsburgh City School District as a whole faces systemic challenges that warrant further investigation.
