Elementary Schools in Wynantskill Union Free School District

Summary:

The Wynantskill Union Free School District has only one elementary school, Gardner-Dickinson School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school generally performs above the state average on English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments, with several grade levels scoring significantly higher than the state. However, there are some areas where the school's performance lags behind the state, such as 3rd grade ELA and 8th grade Math.

Gardner-Dickinson School stands out for its consistently strong performance in 4th grade ELA and Math, as well as Regents exams in Earth Science and Algebra I, suggesting the school may have effective teaching and curriculum practices in these subject areas. The school's performance varies quite a bit across different grade levels, which could indicate inconsistencies in instructional quality or curriculum alignment across the grade levels.

The school's high per-student spending of $35,926 and low student-teacher ratio of 14.8 suggest it has access to significant resources and a focus on small class sizes. It would be interesting to understand how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement at Gardner-Dickinson School.
