LAKE PLEASANT CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

Located at 120 Elm Lake Road in Speculator, New York, the Lake Pleasant Central School District is an active, traditional public school district serving a rural remote community. Operating as an independent, non-charter system with a single educational facility, the district concentrates its resources on foundational learning, providing programs from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, as well as ungraded offerings. Because the district does not extend into secondary high school grades (9 through 12), its organizational focus remains dedicated to early childhood, elementary, and middle-level student development. Community members, families, and researchers can contact the district office directly at (518) 548-7571 or access official resources online at www.lpschool.com.

The district offers an intimate learning environment, serving a total enrollment of 67 students. The student body is balanced by gender, comprising 34 female and 33 male students, with grade cohorts ranging from 4 pre-kindergarten and 3 kindergarten children to 12 eighth graders, alongside 2 ungraded students. Demographically, the student population includes 66 White students and 1 student identifying with two or more races. To serve this small student body, the district maintains a robust operational workforce of 72.6 full-time equivalent staff members. This team includes 31.6 full-time equivalent teachers, 2 instructional aides, and 39 support staff members, creating a uniquely high level of staffing and individualized support for students within its remote rural setting.
