Summary

Onondaga Road Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-4 in the West Genesee Central School District in Syracuse, New York, with 321 students. While the school is part of a relatively high-performing district, its own performance has been declining, ranking 1655 out of 2445 New York elementary schools in 2024-2025.

Onondaga Road Elementary School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with its 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate at 44.93% compared to the district's 55.52% and the state's 54.15%. The school also has significant performance gaps between different student groups, with its White, Hispanic, and Low Socio-Economic Status students performing significantly worse than their peers. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $15,127 to $21,832 over the past few years, its performance continues to lag behind the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Onondaga Road Elementary School is located in close proximity to several higher-performing elementary schools, such as East Hill Elementary, Stonehedge Elementary, and Split Rock Elementary, all of which are part of the West Genesee Central School District. This suggests that the district may be able to share best practices and resources to help improve the performance of Onondaga Road Elementary.
