Elementary Schools in Bath Central School District

Summary:

The Bath Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Vernon E Wightman Primary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade. While the school's academic performance on state assessments is slightly higher than the district average, it lags significantly behind the statewide averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency for 3rd grade students.

Vernon E Wightman Primary School has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 52.89%, indicating a large population of students from low-income families. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4, suggesting a potentially favorable learning environment. However, the school's high spending per student of $24,951 does not appear to be translating into higher academic achievement, at least based on the available data.

Overall, the analysis highlights the need for the Bath Central School District to further investigate the factors contributing to the academic performance challenges at Vernon E Wightman Primary School and implement effective strategies to improve student learning outcomes, particularly in ELA and Math.
