Summary

The Gov George Clinton School is an elementary school located in Poughkeepsie, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. Despite being part of the Poughkeepsie City School District, which is ranked 831 out of 874 school districts in New York, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 28.95%, compared to the state average of 54.15% and the district average of 33.17%. The school's performance is particularly weak in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.51% to 35.29% across grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 54.16% to 59.7%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its White and Multi-racial students, as well as its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students, performing particularly poorly compared to their peers in other New York elementary schools.

While the school's spending per student has increased significantly in recent years, from $16,132 in 2020-2021 to $34,095 in 2023-2024, its student-teacher ratio has remained relatively high, ranging from 11.4 to 13.1 over the past few years. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate the allocation of its resources and consider ways to optimize the use of available funding to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's performance is significantly worse than the other elementary schools in the Poughkeepsie City School District, as well as nearby schools in other districts, such as Hagan School and Arthur S May School, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings.
