Summary:
The Edwards-Knox Central School District in New York contains a single elementary school, Edwards-Knox Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The district as a whole ranks in the bottom third of all school districts in New York, indicating that the educational challenges faced by Edwards-Knox Elementary School may be reflective of broader issues within the district.
Edwards-Knox Elementary School has consistently performed poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 22.22% to 52.94%, compared to the state average of 50.86% to 56.61%. In Math, the proficiency rates ranged from 6.9% to 41.18%, compared to the state average of 51.2% to 59.7%. The school's performance in Science for 5th grade is also below the state average (22.22% vs. 45.02%).
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 and higher-than-average spending per student of $28,819 for the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively allocate its resources to support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (53.29% in 2023-2024) indicates that the school serves a relatively low-income population, which can present additional challenges in terms of educational outcomes.
