Summary

Presidential Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Middletown, New York, serving 1,204 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Middletown City School District, which is ranked 793 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Presidential Park Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1675 and 2106 over the past 9 school years. The school's performance on state assessments is also below the Middletown City School District and New York state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. However, an interesting outlier is the performance of migrant students at the school, who have consistently ranked in the top 5 schools in New York for this subgroup over the past three school years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools within the Middletown City School District and surrounding districts, Presidential Park Elementary School generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Some nearby schools, such as William A. Carter School and Otisville Elementary School, demonstrate stronger academic performance, particularly in certain student subgroups. The school's high poverty rates, ranging from 72.47% to 76.46% over the past three school years, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.
