Summary:
Wheelerville Union Free School District has only one elementary school, Wheelerville School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance has been mixed, with some grades excelling on state assessments while others struggle. However, the school's 8th-grade students have achieved exceptional results, with 100% proficiency in English Language Arts and 60% proficiency in Math, far exceeding the state averages.
Despite the school's small size of 117 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.9, it faces challenges in ensuring consistent and equitable outcomes across all grade levels. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (47.01%) suggests that it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional support and interventions. The school's per-student spending of $19,219 is higher than the state average, indicating a potential opportunity to leverage its resources to address the unique needs of its student population.
Overall, Wheelerville Union Free School District has a single elementary school that shows both strengths and areas for improvement. The school's exceptional 8th-grade performance and small size could be assets, but the district may need to examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes for all students.
