Summary:
The Elba Central School District in New York contains a single elementary school, Elba Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance on New York State Assessments has consistently lagged behind the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics over the past two school years.
Elba Elementary School's proficiency rates on state assessments range from 28.57% to 45.83% in ELA and 37.5% to 43.75% in Math, significantly lower than the state averages of 50.86% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 59.7% in Math. This underperformance has been persistent, with no notable improvement observed over the past two years. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting the school's ability to provide equitable educational opportunities.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $22,286 for the 2023-2024 school year, the academic outcomes suggest that the resources may not be effectively allocated to address the specific needs of the student population and improve educational outcomes. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to help Elba Elementary School improve its academic performance and provide a high-quality education for its students.
