Elementary Schools in Whitehall Central School District

Summary:

The Whitehall Central School District in New York contains a single elementary school, Whitehall Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past three years, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average.

Whitehall Elementary School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 14.81% to 42.42% and Math proficiency rates ranging from 13.64% to 23.33%, well below the state averages of 54.07% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 59.7% in Math. The school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate of 27.03% is also substantially lower than the state average of 45.02%. These persistent academic challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning outcomes.

Additionally, Whitehall Elementary School serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 54.05% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 9.6 is lower than the state average, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. The school district's spending per student of $25,977 for the 2023-2024 school year may also be an area to examine in relation to the school's ongoing struggles.
