Public Grades
Summary

Pratt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Barker, NY, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 351 students. It is part of the Barker Central School District, which is ranked 319 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pratt Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Math are generally on par with or above the state and district levels, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are often below the state and district averages, particularly in the upper grades. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively low rankings for its White students and Special Education students, but better performance for its Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students. Pratt Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 622 out of 2,413 New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 (rated 4 stars) to 1,373 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023 (rated 2 stars), suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement.

When comparing Pratt Elementary School to the nearby schools in the Lockport City School District and Medina Central School District, it becomes evident that Pratt is generally performing better than these neighboring schools, particularly in Math. However, the nearby schools, such as George Southard Elementary and Roy Kelley Elementary, have shown stronger performance in ELA compared to Pratt. Additionally, Pratt Elementary School's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.38% to 52.96% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact student learning and achievement.
