Elementary Schools in Ripley Central School District

Ripley Central School District has only one elementary school, Ripley Central School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1218 out of 2445 New York elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1665 out of 2434 in 2021-2022.

Ripley Central School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally lower than the state averages, except for 5th grade where the school outperforms the state. However, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate of 50% is higher than the state average of 35%. The school has a relatively small student population of 149 and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 55.7%, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance.

Despite the school's resource allocation, with a low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average district spending per student, the school's overall performance compared to the state suggests that more investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's fluctuating performance trends. The school's strengths in 5th grade, however, suggest that the school may be doing something right in its curriculum and instruction for that grade level.
