Summary

Saint Lawrence Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brasher Falls, New York, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 363 students. The school is part of the Brasher Falls Central School District, which is ranked 546 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Saint Lawrence Elementary School has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $9,000 in 2020-2021 to $32,777 in 2023-2024, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and math are generally below the state and district averages, with particular challenges for special education students. Nearby schools, such as Madrid-Waddington Elementary School, Salmon River Elementary School, and Lawrence Avenue Elementary School, tend to outperform Saint Lawrence Elementary on state assessments.

The school's challenges may be partly attributed to its relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the nearby schools also serve a significant number of students from low-income families, suggesting that the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems may need closer examination to identify effective strategies for improving student outcomes at Saint Lawrence Elementary School.
