Summary

Mount Markham Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 446 students in grades PK-4 in West Winfield, NY. The school is part of the Mount Markham Central School District, which is ranked 590 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Mount Markham Elementary School has seen fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 944 to 1522 out of around 2,400-2,500 New York elementary schools. Its proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math have varied significantly across grade levels and years. The school's performance also differs considerably across student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students, and White students and students with low socioeconomic status performing significantly worse than the overall student population.

Despite a significant increase in per-student spending, from $10,707 in 2021-2022 to $22,288 in 2023-2024, Mount Markham Elementary School's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement. When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Robert L. Bradley Elementary School and Hughes Elementary School in the New Hartford Central School District, Mount Markham generally performs worse on state assessments, particularly in ELA and Math. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve its outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
