Summary:
The Watervliet City School District has only one elementary school, Watervliet Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance on state assessments is consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math well below the state benchmarks.
Watervliet Elementary School has a high percentage of students, 72.01%, receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite the school's relatively high spending of $8,242 per student and a small student-teacher ratio of 14:1, its academic performance has remained low, with the school's statewide ranking declining in recent years.
The combination of low academic achievement, high poverty levels, and efficient resource allocation suggests that Watervliet Elementary School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes. Further investigation and analysis may be necessary to identify the root causes of the school's struggles and develop effective strategies to enhance student learning and success.
