Summary

Mooers Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Northeastern Clinton Central School District. With 326 students, the school has shown strong academic performance, particularly in math, where 4th and 5th graders have outperformed the district and state averages. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates have been more variable, with 3rd and 5th grade students underperforming compared to the district and state.

Mooers Elementary has seen some disparities in performance between student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students. The school's ranking for male students has been in the bottom half of the state, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to support this group. Additionally, the school's performance for White students and students with special needs has been mixed compared to state averages. Despite these challenges, Mooers Elementary has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $11,943 in 2021-2022 to $23,401 in 2023-2024, which may indicate a concerted effort to invest in the school and its resources.

When compared to nearby schools, Rouses Point Elementary School generally underperforms Mooers Elementary, while Chazy Central Rural Elementary has stronger overall academic performance, particularly in ELA. The increased investment in Mooers Elementary and its focus on improving instructional practices and addressing disparities in subgroup performance could help the school build on its successes and address areas for improvement.

Open Quote I went to Mooers Elementary school up to 5th grade and the students and even faculty were prejudice against me and my family because we were Hispanic. The bullying from other students made me bitter at such a young age and although I am better now (and older), my family and I cannot forget. It was such a breath of fresh air to move away from the school and into a more diverse city and school district. There were kind and open individuals at Mooers, but they were hard to come by. The school must work on being a safe and welcoming place for Latinos and other minorities. I hope the school has already been working on this issue. My experience at Mooers was ok, but they should have been actively working on educating and exposing students to other cultures. Even some teachers needed to be educated on culture as some had no understanding as to why my family and I just did things differently, it was not because I was mentally disabled or needed to be put in different classes. It is culturally insensitive and simply insulting. I really hope things at the school are different today. If it hadn't been so horrible then my family would have very likely stayed. Please do not take this review as a message of discouragement, I want to encourage the people of Mooers to implement elements of open-mindedness, awareness, sensitivity, and to make sure that those who may look differently, speak differently, and pray differently are treated as equals.
