Summary

George Washington School is an elementary school located in Kingston, New York, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 514 students. The school is part of the Kingston City School District, which is ranked 761 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George Washington School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, with a 0-star rating for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 31.51% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.15% and the district average of 40.66%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.55% to 52.34% over the past few years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing George Washington School to other elementary schools in the Kingston City School District, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Robert R. Graves School and E.R. Crosby Elementary School have significantly higher academic performance and rankings. Despite the increased spending per student at George Washington School, the school's academic performance remains relatively low, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement.
