Additionally, 62.06% of MacArthur School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than the district and state averages, and the school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroups such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students performing in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools.
While the nearby Calvin Coolidge School, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, and Horace Mann School within the Binghamton City School District generally outperform MacArthur School, the school's performance has been declining over the past decade, despite a steady increase in per-student spending. This suggests that MacArthur School may need to re-evaluate its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to address the unique challenges it faces in providing a quality education to its students.
