Summary

Edwards-Knox Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 289 students in grades PK-6 in Hermon, New York, which is part of the Edwards-Knox Central School District. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.44% to 52.94% across different grade levels, while the state averages ranged from 50.86% to 59.7%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 53.29% to 55.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, which increased from $12,584 in 2021-2022 to $28,819 in 2023-2024, the academic outcomes remain poor. When compared to nearby schools, such as Clifton-Fine Elementary School, Antwerp Primary School, Gouverneur Elementary School, and Harrisville Elementary School, Edwards-Knox Elementary School generally performs worse on state assessments and has a lower statewide ranking, indicating that the challenges faced by the school may be reflective of broader systemic issues within the region.

The analysis of Edwards-Knox Elementary School reveals a widening achievement gap, with proficiency rates declining across multiple grade levels and subject areas over the past few years. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and support systems to drive meaningful improvements and ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
