Summary:
The Brasher Falls Central School District has only one elementary school, Saint Lawrence Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1027 out of 2434 schools in 2021-2022 to 1912 out of 2445 schools in 2023-2024.
Saint Lawrence Elementary School's proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts and math are significantly below the state averages, with only 28.36% of 3rd graders and 25% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 42.6% and 47.05%, respectively. In math, the proficiency rates were 46.97% for 3rd grade and 38.24% for 4th grade, compared to the state averages of 53.93% and 58.03%. The school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 59.23% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school district's higher-than-average spending of $12,953 per student, the school's performance remains below state averages. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the specific needs of the student population at Saint Lawrence Elementary School.
