Summary:
The zip code 14047 contains a single public elementary school, Highland Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 356 students. The school's performance on state assessments is generally higher than the Evans-Brant Central School District (Lake Shore) average, particularly in mathematics, but still lags behind the state average in English Language Arts (ELA).
Highland Elementary School has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a large majority of White students and low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. The school is well-resourced, with a high per-student spending of $16,915 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to the district. However, 42.42% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students who may require targeted support and interventions to ensure their academic success.
Overall, while Highland Elementary School is performing better than the district average in some areas, there is still room for improvement, particularly in addressing the achievement gap in ELA and promoting greater diversity within the student population. The school's strong resource allocation suggests it has the potential to provide a high-quality education, but the challenges presented by its economically disadvantaged student population will need to be carefully addressed to ensure all students have the opportunity to thrive.
