Summary:
The 13158 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Truxton Academy Charter School, which serves grades K-6 and has a total enrollment of 74 students. As a public charter school, Truxton Academy is part of the Truxton Academy Charter School District and serves a relatively small and rural area.
Truxton Academy Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with student proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from 10-46%, significantly below the state averages of 54-59%. The school's performance on state assessments has been particularly low, with 0% proficiency in ELA for grades 4-6 and low proficiency rates in Math as well in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate in 2023-2024 was 16.67%, compared to a state average of 35%.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it spends $17,511 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively small class size with a student-teacher ratio of 7.8. However, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school also serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 56.76% in 2023-2024, suggesting it serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces in improving student achievement.
