Summary:
The Alexander Central School District in New York contains a single elementary school, Alexander Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1344 out of 2445 New York elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1538 out of 2439 in 2022-2023, earning a rating of 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars.
Alexander Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates on New York State Assessments varying across subjects and grade levels. While the school's Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are generally higher than the statewide averages, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are significantly lower, particularly in 3rd grade. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its ELA instruction and support. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 38.04%, which may present unique challenges and require targeted interventions.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it has access to significant resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $25,920 for the 2023-2024 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.8. However, the data does not provide information on how these resources are being utilized or the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices. Overall, the analysis of Alexander Elementary School highlights both areas of strength and areas for improvement, and the school's demographic and financial characteristics provide context for understanding the challenges it may face and the resources available to address them.
