Summary

Beaver River Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 416 students in grades PK-5 in Beaver Falls, New York. The school is part of the Beaver River Central School District, which is ranked 417 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beaver River Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. While the school has higher proficiency rates than the state average in 3rd grade ELA and Math, as well as 4th grade Math, its performance lags behind the state in 4th and 5th grade ELA, as well as 5th grade Math and Science. The school has also seen varying performance across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students and low-income students struggling to meet state standards.

Interestingly, Beaver River Elementary School has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from around $7,700 in 2021-2022 to $19,557 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the nearby South Lewis Elementary School ($25,205) and the West Carthage Elementary School ($22,026) and Carthage Elementary School ($22,837). However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 in 2023-2024 is higher than these nearby schools. The school should carefully evaluate how these additional resources are being used to support student learning and address the inconsistent academic performance and equity concerns.
