Summary

Brushton Grade School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-6 in the Brushton-Moira Central School District, with 464 students located in Brushton, NY. The district as a whole is ranked 736 out of 874 districts in New York and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Brushton Grade School consistently underperforms the state average on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.42% to 41.67% in English Language Arts and 41.94% to 50% in Math, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 54.15% and 51.2% to 59.7%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.37% to 59.96%, significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,858 to $21,934, and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.1 to 13, the school's performance remains a concern.

Nearby schools, such as Massena Senior High School and Saint Regis Falls Central School, also show concerning trends, with high chronic absenteeism rates and low proficiency rates on state assessments. The declining test scores at Brushton Grade School and the potential equity and resource challenges faced by the school suggest that addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students and ensuring they have access to the necessary support and resources should be a priority for the Brushton-Moira Central School District.
