However, the school excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 96% in Living Environment.
At the elementary level, East Main Elementary School has proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are generally lower than the district and state averages. This suggests that the Port Jervis City School District may need to focus its efforts on improving student performance at the elementary level, while building on the strengths observed at the high school and middle school levels. Across the district, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 53% to 61.35%, indicate that the schools are serving a population with significant economic challenges, which could have implications for resource allocation and student support.
