Summary

Sullivan West Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jeffersonville, NY, serving 601 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Sullivan West Central School District. While the school's overall academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, it offers some unique strengths and opportunities for improvement.

On state assessments, Sullivan West Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math range from 20% to 58%, generally below the state average. However, the school's 4th grade Science proficiency rates are notably strong, around 80-90%, significantly higher than the state. The school's diverse student population includes a significant percentage of Hispanic students (20-25%) and a notable proportion of students from low-income families (35-41% free/reduced lunch). Interestingly, the school's Hispanic students and students with special needs tend to outperform their White and economically disadvantaged peers on state assessments.

Compared to nearby schools like Benjamin Cosor Elementary, Kenneth L Rutherford, and Liberty Elementary, Sullivan West has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, yet its overall academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the school may benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its diverse student population and improve student outcomes.
