Summary:
Bath Central School District has only one elementary school, Vernon E Wightman Primary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade. The school's academic performance, as measured by 3rd grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, has been consistently lower than the state averages over the past two school years. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 58% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the district's relatively high spending per student ($16,847) and small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 12.8 to 1), the academic outcomes at Vernon E Wightman Primary School suggest that the resources may not be effectively translating into improved student achievement. The combination of low academic performance and high economic disadvantage among the student population indicates that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its students and improve overall academic success.
Overall, the analysis of the single elementary school in the Bath Central School District highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's academic performance and the implementation of strategies to support student learning, particularly for economically disadvantaged students.
