Summary:
The Saranac Central School District in New York is home to two elementary schools serving grades K-5. Based on the available data, Saranac Elementary School appears to be the stronger performer within the district, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming Morrisonville Elementary School on key metrics like standardized test scores and student-teacher ratio.
While both schools fall below the state average on most English Language Arts and Math assessments, Saranac Elementary has higher proficiency rates, particularly in 4th grade Math where it scored 55.32% compared to the district average of 34.41%. Saranac Elementary also outperformed Morrisonville Elementary and the state average in 5th grade Science. Additionally, Saranac Elementary has a slightly higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.
However, the Saranac Central School District as a whole is ranked 593 out of 865 districts in New York and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating the district is performing below average compared to other districts in the state. The high free and reduced lunch rates at both elementary schools, over 33%, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which could be a factor in the overall lower academic achievement across the district.
