Summary:
The 14775 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Ripley Central School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 149 students. The school is part of the Ripley Central School District, which is ranked 597 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ripley Central School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. The school's proficiency rates range from 25% to 44.44% in ELA and 25% to 72.22% in Math, compared to state averages of 44.89% to 48.79% in ELA and 48.07% to 53.85% in Math. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $29,619 and a low student-teacher ratio of 6.7, the school's academic performance remains a concern, suggesting that resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning and achievement.
Ripley Central School also faces challenges related to the socioeconomic status of its student population, with a high percentage (55.7%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant economic disadvantages, which could contribute to the academic performance challenges. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 1,031 out of 2,201 elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,419 out of 2,439 elementary schools in 2022-2023, indicating a potential decline in the school's performance over time.
