Summary

Seymour Dual Language Academy is an elementary school located in Syracuse, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 419 students. It is part of the Syracuse City School District, which is ranked 849 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Seymour Dual Language Academy has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a statewide rank between 2,330 and 2,445 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years.

Seymour Dual Language Academy has extremely low proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments compared to the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 1.54% of 3rd graders, 13.33% of 4th graders, and 9.76% of 5th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61% respectively. The math proficiency rates are similarly low, ranging from 5.56% to 12.73% across grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 54.16% to 59.7%. The school also ranks in the bottom 5-10% of New York elementary schools for most student subgroups. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of around $32,000 in 2023-2024, the school's academic outcomes do not reflect the level of investment.

While the nearby schools in the Syracuse City School District also struggle with low performance, some, such as Syracuse Latin School, demonstrate significantly better academic outcomes. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level challenges may be at play in Seymour Dual Language Academy's persistent underperformance. Addressing the school's issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that targets the root causes of the school's underperformance and implements evidence-based strategies to support student learning and growth.
