Summary:

The Putnam Central School District is a small school district in New York, consisting of only one elementary school, Putnam Central School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 38 students.

Putnam Central School's academic performance is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school excels in math and science proficiency, it lags behind in English Language Arts, particularly in 6th grade. The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with a high 71.05% free and reduced lunch rate. However, the school's per-student spending of $64,265 is significantly higher than the state average, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to the students.

With a small student population of only 38 and a high student-teacher ratio of 4.9, Putnam Central School is able to allocate resources more effectively. The school's performance on state assessments suggests that it is meeting the needs of its students in certain academic areas, but may need to focus on improving English Language Arts outcomes, particularly in the upper grades.
