Summary:
The Deposit Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Deposit Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and varying proficiency rates on state assessments compared to state averages.
Deposit Elementary School's performance on state ELA and math assessments has been inconsistent across grade levels, with some grades performing above the state average and others lagging behind. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 56.67%, compared to the statewide average of 56.61%, while its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 36.67%, compared to the state average of 59.7%. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was also below the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may be impacting the school's performance, as it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 54.15% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the Deposit Central School District as a whole is ranked 547 out of 874 in New York, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting systemic challenges that may be affecting the lone elementary school. The school's high per-student spending of $32,210 in 2023-2024 raises questions about how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning.
