Summary:
The Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Central School District has one elementary school, Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has 196 students. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math is generally below the state average across all grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 15% to 47.37% in ELA and 35% to 66.67% in Math, compared to state averages of 50.86% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 59.7% in Math.
Despite the school's high spending of $28,922 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, its academic performance remains below the state average. The school's relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 38.78% may indicate that the student population faces socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting their academic achievement. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 suggests that students may have access to more individualized attention and support, which could be a positive factor in their learning experience.
Overall, the Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Elementary School appears to be facing challenges in academic performance, despite the high spending per student and favorable student-teacher ratio. The school's consistently low performance on state assessments, coupled with the potential impact of socioeconomic factors, suggests that further investigation into the specific factors contributing to the school's challenges would be necessary to identify potential areas for improvement.
