Summary

Flanders Elementary School is a public elementary school in Malone, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 224 students. The school is part of the Malone Central School District, which is ranked 813 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Flanders Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in New York State Assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 19.35% to 37.93% across grades 3-5, while the state average was around 54%. Similarly, in Math, the proficiency rates ranged from 14.81% to 41.38%, compared to the state average of around 57%. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, and white students in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools. However, the school performs relatively better in supporting its special education students, ranking in the top 30-40% of New York elementary schools.

While Davis Elementary School and Saint Joseph's Elementary School, which are also part of the Malone Central School District, consistently outperform Flanders Elementary School in academic metrics, Flanders has seen a significant increase in its per-student spending, from $16,592 in 2020-2021 to $30,552 in 2023-2024. This high spending does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.
