Wainscott School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Wainscott School is a small public elementary school serving grades K-4 in Wainscott, New York, with just 26 students. It is part of the Wainscott Common School District, which is ranked 475 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wainscott School stands out for its small size, high spending per student, and strong math performance. With just 26 students, it is significantly smaller than nearby schools, which range from 125 to 689 students. However, the school spends $19,820 per student, higher than the state average and most of the surrounding schools. In 2023-2024, Wainscott School had 57.14% of 3rd graders and 66.67% of 4th graders proficient or better in math, outperforming the state and district averages. On the other hand, the school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 50%, while the 3rd-grade rate was only 28.57%, lower than the state and district averages.

The small size of Wainscott School may contribute to its high spending per student, as fixed costs are spread across a smaller population. The school's strong math performance suggests effective curriculum and instruction, but the inconsistent ELA results indicate a need to focus on improving reading and writing skills. Compared to nearby schools, Wainscott School's performance is mixed, with the school outperforming in math but struggling in ELA. This may be due to the small sample size and the unique needs of the student population. The Wainscott Common School District's low ranking and 2-star rating also suggest that the district as a whole may face challenges in providing high-quality education, and Wainscott School's performance may be an outlier within the district.
