In Math, 57.89% of 3rd graders, 75.68% of 4th graders, and 67.65% of 5th graders at Charlotte Avenue Elementary School were proficient or better, compared to 41.67%, 50.5%, and 50.52% for the district, and 53.93%, 58.03%, and 48.93% for the state.
While Charlotte Avenue Elementary School has seen fluctuations in the performance of different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students in ELA and white students and special education students performing at or above the state average in some years, the school's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students have consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 15% of New York elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. The school's relatively high per-student spending of around $12,000 per year and low student-teacher ratio of around 17:1 suggest that the school may be allocating resources effectively, but the underperformance of low-SES students indicates that the school may need to re-evaluate how these resources are being utilized to better support this population.
