Elementary Schools in Troy City School District

Summary:

The Troy City School District in New York is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools within the district, with significant disparities in academic achievement.

Two schools stand out as top performers: PS 16 and PS 18. These schools consistently outperform the district and state averages on state assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates as high as 72.22% in 3rd grade Math at PS 18. In contrast, other schools like PS 2 and Carroll Hill School struggle, with proficiency rates as low as 10.53% in 5th grade Math at PS 2.

The data also reveals significant variations in per-student spending, student-teacher ratios, and free/reduced-price lunch rates across the district. While there does not appear to be a clear correlation between spending and performance, the schools with the highest rates of poverty tend to have the lowest academic achievement. This suggests that the district may need to provide additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by high-poverty schools and ensure all students have access to a quality education.
