Summary:
The 12748 zip code is home to a single school, Sullivan West Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 571 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, consistently falls below the state averages across all grade levels.
Sullivan West Elementary School's student population is predominantly White (82.84%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (12.26%), African American (2.28%), and other racial groups. This lack of diversity may indicate potential equity issues that warrant further investigation. Additionally, the school's free/reduced lunch rate of 36.95% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could present additional challenges and require targeted support.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $15,805, the lower academic performance compared to the state averages raises questions about the effective use of these resources. The Sullivan West Central School District, of which Sullivan West Elementary School is a part, may need to examine its practices and allocation of resources to address the academic challenges faced by the school and improve educational outcomes for its students.
