Summary:
The Moriah Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Moriah Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some strengths, such as a low student-teacher ratio and above-average 3rd grade Math proficiency, it faces challenges in consistently meeting state-level academic standards, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science.
Moriah Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is mixed. The school's ELA proficiency rates range from 30.23% for 6th grade to 51.16% for 3rd grade, which are generally below the state average. In Math, the school performs above the state average in 3rd grade at 69.39%, but struggles in 6th grade with a proficiency rate of 26.19%. Additionally, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate of 33.33% is lower than the state average of 45.02%.
The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 43.35%, suggests that it may be serving a population with greater economic challenges, which could impact academic outcomes. However, the school's per-student spending of $26,438 is higher than the state average, and its low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning. These factors indicate that the district is allocating significant resources to Moriah Elementary School, but the investment does not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic performance across all grades and subjects. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school improve its overall academic outcomes.
