Summary

Byron-Bergen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 418 students in grades PK-5 in the Byron-Bergen Central School District located in Bergen, NY. The district as a whole is ranked 450 out of 874 districts in New York and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

The school has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, ranking as high as 565 out of 2,386 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 with a 4-star rating, but has since declined to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023, ranking 1,923 out of 2,439 schools. This decline in performance is concerning, and the school's performance on state assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for White students and students with special needs. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 45.73% in 2021-2022 to 53.9% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Caledonia-Mumford Elementary School, which is about 10 miles away, Byron-Bergen Elementary School generally performs worse on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, around 10-11 students per teacher in recent years, suggests that the school may have adequate staffing resources, but the increase in spending per student from $12,378 in 2020-2021 to $21,270 in 2023-2024 may indicate that the school is investing in other resources or programs to support student learning.
