Summary:
The 14009 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Arcade Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 515 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, its academic performance on state assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a predominantly white student population, with over 95% of students identifying as white, and a high percentage (44.85%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Compared to the Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District and the state, Arcade Elementary School's 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 37.5% is lower than the district (33.1%) and state (44.89%) averages. Similarly, in 4th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate of 29.79% is also lower than the district (33.33%) and state (48.79%) averages. However, in 3rd grade Math, the school's proficiency rate of 46.05% is higher than the district (37.93%) but lower than the state (53.68%) average. In 4th grade Math, the school's proficiency rate of 47.31% is similar to the district (48.61%) but lower than the state (53.85%) average.
Despite the school's relatively low academic performance, it does have some strengths, such as the favorable student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student ($14,514) compared to the state average. However, the lack of racial diversity and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be areas for the school and district to address in order to ensure equitable and high-quality educational opportunities for all students in the 14009 zip code area.
