Summary:
The schools in zip code 13121 are part of the Mexico Central School District and serve grades PK-4. The data provided focuses on a single school, New Haven Elementary School, which has a predominantly white student population and consistently low academic performance compared to district and state averages.
New Haven Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (56.85% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in 3rd grade ELA (17.39%) and Math (10.87%). Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,394, the school has struggled to improve its academic outcomes, consistently ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.
The lack of diversity at New Haven Elementary, with 92.53% of students identifying as white, may also be a contributing factor to the school's challenges. The combination of socioeconomic disadvantages, low academic performance, and limited diversity suggests that the school faces significant hurdles in providing a well-rounded and effective education for its students. Further investigation into the school's resource allocation and teaching strategies may be necessary to identify ways to improve student outcomes and address the underlying issues affecting the school's performance.
