Summary

Alexandria Central Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 249 students in grades PK-6 in Alexandria Bay, New York. The school is part of the Alexandria Central School District, which is ranked 338 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school generally performs below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments across grades 3-6, it does outperform the state average in 5th grade Math and Science. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with some grades and subjects showing improvement while others decline. Notably, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is concerning, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools. In comparison, the school's male students and white students perform better than the state average.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and significant increase in per-student spending, the continued underperformance of certain student groups indicates that the school may need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and instructional strategies. When compared to nearby schools in the Indian River Central School District and Thousand Islands Central School District, Alexandria Central Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in ELA and Math assessments, but the nearby schools also face similar challenges with student performance.
