Summary:
The Ellenville Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district: Ellenville Elementary School and Ellenville Junior/Senior High School. While the high school appears to be a relatively strong performer within the district, the elementary school is struggling significantly, with proficiency rates well below state averages in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.
Ellenville Junior/Senior High School has higher test scores across most subject areas and grade levels, a higher 4-year graduation rate (84.3%), and a lower dropout rate (4.5%) compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Ellenville Elementary School has proficiency rates ranging from 18.99% to 44.44% in Math and 23.75% to 39.62% in ELA across grades 3-6, well below the state averages. The elementary school also has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the bottom 20% of elementary schools in New York.
Both schools in the Ellenville Central School District have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, with Ellenville Elementary at 58.02% and Ellenville Junior/Senior High at 60.14%, indicating that the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. The high spending per student at both schools, coupled with the low academic outcomes, suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning.
