Summary:
The Goshen Central School District in New York is home to two elementary schools: Goshen Intermediate School (grades 3-5) and Scotchtown Avenue School (grades PK-2). While the district is ranked 484 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the two elementary schools within the district appear to be performing at a consistent level, with no clear standout schools.
Both Goshen Intermediate School and Scotchtown Avenue School have similar enrollment numbers, with 597 and 547 students, respectively. Their state assessment performance in English Language Arts and Math is generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in 5th-grade ELA and 4th-grade Math at Goshen Intermediate. The district-level proficiency rates are also mostly below the state averages. In terms of funding, the two schools have relatively similar spending per student, at $17,857 for Goshen Intermediate and $17,804 for Scotchtown Avenue.
One notable finding is the relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools, with 11.5 students per teacher at Goshen Intermediate and 12.7 students per teacher at Scotchtown Avenue. This suggests that class sizes are smaller than the state average, which could be a positive factor for student learning and engagement. However, the free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, while not exceptionally high, indicate that a significant portion of the student population may come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could be an area to explore further in terms of ensuring equitable access to resources and support.
