Elementary Schools in Southwestern Central School District At Jamestown

Summary:

The Southwestern Central School District At Jamestown in New York has one elementary school, Southwestern Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 582 students.

While Southwestern Elementary School has some positive metrics, such as a higher-than-average math proficiency rate for grades 3-4, it also faces several challenges. The school's overall state-wide ranking has fluctuated between 990 and 1321 out of 2445 New York elementary schools over the past three school years, with a current ranking of 1321 and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) are below the state average for grades 3-5, and the 5th-grade math proficiency rate is significantly below the state average at 31.31% compared to 54.16%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (35.74%), which can be an indicator of economic disadvantage.

Compared to the state averages, Southwestern Elementary School's performance is generally on par or slightly below the overall performance of the Southwestern Central School District. The school's inconsistent state-wide ranking and uneven academic performance, particularly in ELA and 5th-grade math, suggest that it may need to implement targeted interventions or strategies to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.
