Summary

South Lewis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Turin, New York, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 454 students. The school is part of the South Lewis Central School District, which is ranked 431 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While South Lewis Elementary School has consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the state average over the past 3 years, the school's performance is also below the district average, indicating room for improvement in academic outcomes. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, is generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups. However, the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.9 to 12.1 over the past 3 years, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention to students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Beaver River Elementary, West Leyden Elementary, Lowville Elementary, and Boonville Elementary, generally perform better than South Lewis Elementary School on state assessments, particularly in ELA and Math proficiency rates. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at South Lewis Elementary School (over 50%) may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as students from low-income backgrounds often face additional challenges. With a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, there is room for improvement in overall academic performance and student outcomes at South Lewis Elementary School.
