Summary

Cherry Road Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Syracuse, New York, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 369 students. The school is part of the Westhill Central School District, which is ranked 359 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cherry Road Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking as high as 558 out of 2,201 schools in the 2020-2021 school year. The school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the Westhill Central School District average, but below the statewide average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. The school's diverse student population includes significant representation of African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as English Language Learners and students with special needs. However, the school's performance is particularly low for students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Roberts K-8 School and Seymour Dual Language Academy in the Syracuse City School District, Cherry Road Elementary School significantly outperforms these schools on state assessments in both ELA and Math. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 5 school years, primarily driven by the performance of students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
