Summary:
The data set contains information about a single public elementary school, Aura A Cole Elementary School, located in the 13044 zip code and serving grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly white student population, with academic performance generally lower than the Central Square Central School District and New York state averages.
Aura A Cole Elementary School's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments range from 26.92% to 38.98% in English Language Arts and 40.98% to 53.45% in Math, compared to the district's 32.49%-40.74% and 42.06%-47.73%, and the state's 44.89%-48.79% and 49.69%-53.85%, respectively. The school has a 2-star rating out of 5 and is consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, indicating significant room for improvement.
With a relatively high percentage of students (55.61%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is slightly lower than the national average, providing opportunities for more personalized attention and targeted instruction. Overall, the analysis suggests the need for targeted interventions to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
