Summary

Boston Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hamburg, New York, serving 224 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Hamburg Central School District, which is ranked 439 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Boston Valley Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, it demonstrates some academic strengths. The school's 4th and 5th grade Math proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, reaching 67.86% and 73.08% respectively in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's performance on the 5th grade Science assessment is relatively strong, with a 60% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, compared to 45.81% for the district and 45.02% for the state. However, the school generally performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), with a 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate of 45.45% in 2024-2025, compared to 52.91% for the district and 54.15% for the state.

Boston Valley Elementary School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (29.91% in 2023-2024) compared to the nearby Charlotte Avenue Elementary School (15.44%) and Ellicott Road Elementary School (7.95%), suggesting that it may face greater socioeconomic challenges. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 in 2023-2024 and higher per-student spending of $25,386 in 2023-2024 compared to nearby schools may help address these challenges.
