Summary:
The 12428 zip code area is home to two schools, Ellenville Elementary School and Ellenville Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Ellenville Central School District. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are performing below the state average on various academic measures, suggesting a need for improvement within the district.
Ellenville Elementary School is ranked 2055 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on state assessments are significantly lower than the state average, ranging from 18.99% to 44.44% proficient. The school also has a high rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 58.02%. In contrast, Ellenville Junior/Senior High School is ranked 718 out of 1234 New York high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While its graduation rate is 84.3%, the school also has a concerning 4.5% dropout rate and a chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%.
Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, ranging from $35,830 at the elementary school to $40,298 at the high school, the academic performance remains below state averages. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by these schools. The variability in Regents exam performance at the high school level also suggests the need for a more focused approach to curriculum and instruction to improve student outcomes.
