Summary

Montgomery Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 537 students in grades K-5 in the Valley Central School District in Montgomery, New York. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates for the past several years, suggesting it is effectively supporting student learning and achievement.

Montgomery Elementary School's academic performance is particularly strong, with 63.64% of 3rd graders, 60.53% of 4th graders, and 61.19% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 54.4%, 52.46%, and 50% respectively for the district, and 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61% for the state.

While Montgomery Elementary School performs well for its Hispanic and special education students, the school's performance for its white student population and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively weaker. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past 10 years, ranging from 529 out of 2,395 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,548 out of 2,201 in 2020-2021. This suggests the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond its control, such as changes in the state's assessment standards or the performance of other schools across New York. Overall, Montgomery Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school, but may need to address potential achievement gaps and continue to optimize its resource allocation to maintain and improve its performance over time.
