Summary:
The 14009 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Arcade Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District. While the school has a total enrollment of 515 students, its academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math consistently lower than the district and state averages.
Arcade Elementary School's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 31.68% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 32.48% and the state's 42.6%. Similarly, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 43.48%, lower than the district's 38.41% and the state's 47.05%. In Math, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rate was 33%, compared to the district's 33.97% and the state's 53.93%, while the 4th grade Math proficiency rate was 44.93%, slightly higher than the district's 44.2% but still well below the state's 58.03%.
The school's academic struggles are reflected in its declining statewide ranking, which has dropped from 984 out of 2,434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,768 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to just 1 star out of 5 in 2023-2024. These trends, coupled with the school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (44.85%), suggest that Arcade Elementary School may face significant challenges in supporting its student population and improving academic outcomes.
