Elementary Schools in Moriah Central School District

The Moriah Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving the Moriah Central School District in New York. With 385 students enrolled, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, but its academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is generally below the state average, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA).

Moriah Elementary School's ELA proficiency rates range from 28.89% to 42.59% across different grade levels, compared to the state average of 42.6% to 47.05%. In mathematics, the school's performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average (e.g., 66.67% proficiency in 3rd grade math compared to the state average of 53.93%) and others performing below (e.g., 30.23% proficiency in 5th grade math compared to the state average of 48.93%). The school's science proficiency rate for 5th grade is also below the state average, at 25.58% compared to 35%.

Despite the school's relatively low academic performance, it has a higher spending per student ($15,464) compared to the state average, and a significant portion of its student population (46.75%) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The Moriah Central School District as a whole is ranked relatively low among New York school districts, which may suggest broader systemic challenges that the individual school is facing. Addressing these factors could be important for improving the performance of Moriah Elementary School.
