Summary

Benjamin Cosor Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fallsburg, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 802 students. The school is part of the Fallsburg Central School District, which is ranked 825 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Benjamin Cosor Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 20.2% (3rd grade) to 30.48% (6th grade), compared to the state average of 54.15% to 56.61%. Similarly, in Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 22.33% (3rd grade) to 35% (5th grade), compared to the state average of 59.7% to 54.16%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools in these areas. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $40,102 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, the school's academic outcomes have been declining over the years.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as E.J. Russell Elementary School in the Pine Bush Central School District and Livingston Manor Elementary School in the Livingston Manor Central School District, Benjamin Cosor Elementary School performs significantly worse. These nearby schools have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as higher statewide rankings. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (74.94% in 2023-2024) at Benjamin Cosor Elementary School suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.
