Elementary Schools in Lansingburgh Central School District

Summary:

The Lansingburgh Central School District in New York operates two elementary schools: Turnpike Elementary School and Rensselaer Park Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face significant challenges in terms of academic performance and statewide rankings.

Neither Turnpike Elementary School nor Rensselaer Park Elementary School stand out as exceptional performers. Turnpike Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools over the past three years, while Rensselaer Park Elementary has ranked in the bottom 20%. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 60%. Despite the high poverty levels, the schools spend relatively high amounts per student, with Turnpike Elementary spending $27,446 and Rensselaer Park Elementary spending $28,468 per student for the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, both schools have smaller class sizes than the state average, with Turnpike Elementary having a student-teacher ratio of 9.1 and Rensselaer Park Elementary having a ratio of 9.9. However, this does not appear to be translating into better academic results, as Rensselaer Park Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science on the New York State Assessments are generally lower than the Lansingburgh Central School District and New York state averages. Overall, the data suggests that the elementary schools in the Lansingburgh Central School District face significant challenges in improving academic performance and statewide rankings.
