Summary:
The 13121 zip code in New York is home to a single elementary school, New Haven Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 241 students. While the school benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and significant per-student funding, its academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), lags behind the Mexico Central School District and New York state averages.
New Haven Elementary School's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was just 14.63% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 22% and the state's 42.6%. Similarly, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate of 34% fell short of the district's 27.74% and the state's 47.05%. In math, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rate was 17.07%, while the district and state achieved 20.67% and 53.93%, respectively. The school's 4th grade math proficiency rate of 42% was also lower than the district's 37.82% and the state's 58.03%.
The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 56.85% in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which research has shown can impact academic performance. While the school's resources appear adequate, the data indicates that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's underperformance.
