Summary:
The Pine Valley Central School District (South Dayton) contains a single elementary school, Pine Valley Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The district is located in South Dayton, New York and faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.
Pine Valley Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,793 and 2,134 out of 2,445 schools over the past three school years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.93% to 46.88% in ELA and 28.89% to 48.65% in Math, compared to state averages of 54.07% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 59.7% in Math. The school's performance on the 5th grade Science assessment is also well below the state average, with only 22.73% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 45.02%.
The school district's overall ranking is 679 out of 874 in New York, and it is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $27,464, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance remains poor. This suggests that the district may be facing significant challenges in effectively allocating its resources to support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.8%, indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's low academic performance.
