Summary:
The Evans-Brant Central School District (Lake Shore) in New York is home to three elementary schools serving grades K-5: Highland Elementary School, John T Waugh Elementary School, and A J Schmidt Elementary School. The data reveals that Highland Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with stronger academic achievement, higher rankings, and more favorable student-teacher ratios compared to the other two schools.
Highland Elementary has the highest proficiency rates on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Math, with 54.29% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to the district average of 39.18% and the state average of 47.05%. The school also consistently ranks in the top 40% of New York elementary schools on the SchoolDigger rankings, while the other two schools rank in the bottom 15-20%. Additionally, Highland Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively more advantaged student population.
Despite the standout performance of Highland Elementary, the data reveals that all three schools in the Evans-Brant Central School District (Lake Shore) perform below the state averages in ELA and Math proficiency, suggesting room for improvement across the district. The schools have relatively similar per-student spending, indicating that funding levels may not be the primary driver of the performance differences. Further analysis on the relationship between demographics, school practices, and academic outcomes could provide valuable insights to address these disparities and support the academic success of all students in the district.
