Elementary Schools in Middletown City School District

Summary:

The Middletown City School District in New York is home to three elementary schools: Presidential Park Elementary School, Maple Hill Elementary School, and William A Carter School. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the three elementary schools, William A Carter School stands out as the highest-performing, consistently outpacing the other two schools, the district, and the state of New York on various academic measures. In the 2024-2025 school year, William A Carter School had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the other two schools, with 57.89% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 55.81% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math. Additionally, William A Carter School has the highest statewide ranking among the three schools, ranking 1,690 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While all three schools have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.07% at William A Carter School to 78.64% at Maple Hill Elementary, the student-teacher ratios and spending per student vary. William A Carter School has the highest student-teacher ratio at 11.8, compared to 9.7 at Presidential Park and 8.7 at Maple Hill. However, the higher spending per student at Maple Hill Elementary ($37,812) does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as William A Carter School performs better despite a lower per-student spending of $33,283. These findings suggest that factors beyond just funding and demographics may contribute to the standout performance of William A Carter School within the Middletown City School District.
