Summary

Mount Pleasant Elementary School is a public elementary school in Smithtown, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Smithtown Central School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from a high of 433 out of 2,386 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 1,324 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024. Its overall rating from SchoolDigger has also varied, with 4 stars in recent years but dropping to 2 stars in 2023-2024.

Mount Pleasant Elementary School has shown mixed performance on New York State Assessments compared to the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were lower than the district and state averages, but its math proficiency rates for these grades were higher. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student subgroups have consistently underperformed compared to the state averages for these groups.

Compared to nearby schools like Dogwood Elementary, Tackan Elementary, and Bretton Woods Elementary, which are also part of the Smithtown Central School District, Mount Pleasant Elementary School's performance on state assessments is generally lower. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to some of these nearby schools, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Despite the higher per-student spending at Mount Pleasant Elementary School, the school's academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with this level of investment, suggesting the need for a re-evaluation of resource allocation and instructional strategies.
