Summary

Milton J Fletcher Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Jamestown, New York, part of the Jamestown City School District. With 509 students, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly lower than state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of New York elementary schools for Hispanic, White, and Multi-racial students, as well as students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This is likely due to the school's very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.96% to 77.01% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, which is just over a mile away, Milton J Fletcher Elementary School is clearly underperforming, with significantly lower proficiency rates and a lower SchoolDigger ranking. Despite increased spending per student over the years, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement, indicating a need for more comprehensive and effective interventions to address the challenges faced by this high-poverty school.
