Elementary Schools in Schalmont Central School District

Summary:

The Schalmont Central School District has only one elementary school, Jefferson Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-4. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates on state assessments fluctuating above and below the state average across different grade levels and subject areas.

Jefferson Elementary School has a student population of 685 and a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 24.09% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school district as a whole is ranked 601 out of 874 districts in New York and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting the district may be facing challenges in providing high-quality education to its students. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 and a high per-student spending of $21,843, indicating that it has access to significant resources.

Despite the available resources, Jefferson Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, ranking between 1268 and 1474 out of 2439-2445 schools over the past three school years. This inconsistent academic performance suggests that the effective allocation and utilization of these resources could be an area for improvement within the school and the district as a whole.
