Summary:
The Minisink Valley Central School District in New York is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, Otisville Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently outpacing the district and state averages on standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
Otisville Elementary School has the highest percentage of students scoring proficient or better across all grade levels, with 65.43% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 77.5% proficient or better in Math, compared to the district averages of 47.58% and 62.72%, respectively. The school also has a higher SchoolDigger rating of 3 stars, indicating it is making positive strides, while the other two schools, Minisink Valley Elementary School and Minisink Valley Intermediate School, have lower test scores and 2-star or lower ratings.
Despite Minisink Valley Intermediate School having the highest spending per student at $27,443, its academic performance lags behind Otisville Elementary, suggesting that simply spending more money does not necessarily translate to better outcomes. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is lowest at Minisink Valley Elementary, which could be a factor in its relatively stronger performance compared to the other two schools in the district.
