Summary:
The Lyncourt Union Free School District in New York contains a single elementary school, Lyncourt School, which serves students from prekindergarten through 8th grade. The data reveals that Lyncourt School is consistently underperforming compared to state averages on academic assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels.
Despite the school district spending $28,219 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintaining a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which is lower than the state average, Lyncourt School's academic performance remains significantly below state benchmarks. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of Lyncourt students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from just 8.89% in 3rd grade to 50% in 8th grade, compared to state averages of 54.15% to 52.38%. The school's Math proficiency rates were also low, ranging from 8.89% in 3rd grade to 54.29% in 7th grade, compared to state averages of 59.7% to 46.74%.
Additionally, Lyncourt School serves a high-poverty student population, with 63.82% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that poverty can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that the Lyncourt Union Free School District and Lyncourt School face significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to their students, despite increased spending and resources.
