Summary:
The 14432 zip code area has only one elementary school, Midlakes Elementary School, which is part of the Phelps-Clifton Springs Central School District. This school has faced academic challenges, with its statewide ranking declining over the past few years and its performance on state assessments consistently below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas.
Midlakes Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 40% to 45.19%, compared to the state average of 50.86% to 56.61%. In Math, the proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 23.81% to 47.06%, compared to the state average of 51.2% to 59.7%. The school's science proficiency rate for 5th grade in 2024-2025 was 38.66%, compared to the state average of 45.02%.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, which could be an asset if the school is able to effectively leverage this resource to improve student outcomes. However, the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $26,762 in 2023-2024 suggests that the district is investing resources into the school, but the lack of academic progress indicates that these resources may not be effectively utilized. Overall, the data suggests that Midlakes Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues.
