Summary:
The 11727 zip code in New York is home to a single elementary school, Coram Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 and is part of the Longwood Central School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools.
Coram Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with only 24.74% of 3rd graders and 26.51% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to district averages of 28.6% and 30.22%, and state averages of 42.6% and 47.05%. In math, the school's proficiency rates were 33.33% for 3rd grade and 25.9% for 4th grade, lagging behind the district averages of 35.78% and 38.8%, and the state averages of 53.93% and 58.03%. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.28%.
Despite the school's low performance, the district's spending per student is relatively high at $20,671, and the student-teacher ratio is lower than the national average at 12.7 students per teacher. This suggests that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized or the specific challenges the school is facing. Further investigation into the school's teaching practices and the factors contributing to its underperformance could provide valuable insights to help improve educational outcomes for the students at Coram Elementary School.
