Summary:
The Pulaski Central School District in New York operates two schools: Pulaski Middle-High School and Pulaski Elementary School. While the middle-high school has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York high schools, the elementary school has struggled, ranking in the bottom 50% of the state's elementary schools.
Pulaski Middle-High School stands out for its strong performance on Regents exams, with several subjects exceeding the state average by a significant margin. The school also maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5%. However, it faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which may be contributing to its below-average performance on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
In contrast, Pulaski Elementary School consistently lags behind the state average in ELA and Math proficiency across grades 3-5. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is higher than the state average, but overall, it has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Both schools serve a high-need student population, with nearly half of the students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the district spends significantly more per student than the state average.
