Summary:
The Moravia Central School District in New York has one elementary school, Millard Fillmore Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district is located in a rural area, and the school faces challenges in academic performance compared to the district and state averages.
Millard Fillmore Elementary School consistently underperforms the district and state on state assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school's proficiency rates are lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's ranking among New York elementary schools has declined over the past few years, from 1739 out of 2439 in 2022-2023 to 1867 out of 2445 in 2024-2025. This persistent underperformance is a concern for the school and the district.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (53.13%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $29,926 for the 2023-2024 school year, the school's academic outcomes do not appear to be commensurate with the level of resources invested. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the potential need for a closer examination of how funds are being utilized to support student learning.
