Elementary Schools in Sweet Home Central School District

Summary:

The Sweet Home Central School District in New York is home to 4 elementary schools serving grades K-5: Maplemere Elementary School, Glendale Elementary School, Heritage Heights Elementary School, and Willow Ridge Elementary School.

Maplemere Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently outpacing the district and state averages on state assessments. It has the highest overall performance, with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels, as well as the highest statewide school ranking, placing it in the top third of New York elementary schools. In contrast, Willow Ridge Elementary School appears to be the weakest performer in the district, with the lowest proficiency rates in 3rd grade ELA and Math, as well as lower rankings compared to the other schools.

The performance gap between the highest-performing school and the lowest-performing school is quite significant, raising questions about equity and the potential need for targeted interventions or support at the lower-performing schools. Additionally, the district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all four schools ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, suggesting a need for district-level improvements or a closer examination of the factors contributing to the relatively low performance across the district.
