Despite the high per-student spending of $21,723 in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average, Flanders Elementary School's academic performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1635 out of 2395 schools in 2017-2018 to 2277 out of 2439 schools in 2022-2023. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for significant interventions and improvements. While the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.8 in 2022-2023, the academic performance of the school's student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, all rank in the bottom 30-40% of New York elementary schools.
