Summary:
The South Lewis Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, South Lewis Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1239 out of 2439 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1452 out of 2445 in 2023-2024, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
South Lewis Elementary School faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments generally lower than the state averages, particularly in 3rd grade. The school also has a high percentage of students (57.24%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.1 is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively favorable classroom environment.
While the school district's spending per student of $11,655 is higher than the state average, the data suggests that the school may benefit from targeted interventions or support in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in the 3rd grade. Additionally, the school could explore ways to leverage its relatively low student-teacher ratio to improve instructional practices and support student learning, as well as address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
