Summary

Kakiat Elementary School is a public middle school located in Spring Valley, New York, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 678 students. The school is part of the East Ramapo Central School District, which is ranked 851 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kakiat Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 13.41% to 41.07%, while the state average was around 50-56%. Similarly, the school's Math proficiency rates ranged from 22.53% to 44.14%, compared to the state average of 46.74% to 58.64%. However, the school's students perform significantly better on Regents exams compared to the district and state averages, with proficiency rates around 88-89% on the Living Environment and Algebra I Regents exams.

The stark contrast in performance between Kakiat Elementary School and nearby schools like Suffern Middle School and the Felix Festa Middle Schools in the Clarkstown Central School District is noteworthy. While Kakiat Elementary School struggles with overall academic proficiency, it appears to be effectively preparing a subset of its students for success on Regents exams. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families and its membership in a low-performing school district may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.
