Iroquois West Elementary School/Thawville performs better than the state average in ELA proficiency, with 47.8% of students meeting or exceeding standards, compared to 41.2% statewide. However, the school lags behind the district average of 48.8% in ELA. In math, the school's proficiency rate of 31.0% is lower than both the district average of 36.8% and the state average of 28.4%. The school's science proficiency rate of 35.1% is also lower than the state average of 53.2%. With a 50% free/reduced lunch rate, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $11,539 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, the academic performance metrics indicate that these resources may not be fully translating into improved outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has declined slightly over the past three years, suggesting a need to closely monitor the school's performance and implement targeted interventions to improve student learning and achievement.
