Summary:

The city of Gorham, New York has only one school, the Gorham Elementary School, which serves grades 3-5 and has an enrollment of 218 students. The school is part of the Gorham-Middlesex Central School District (Marcus Whitman), which is ranked 509 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gorham Elementary School's performance on the New York State Assessments has been consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math over the past two school years, with some exceptions. In 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade Math proficiency rate (61.97%) was higher than the state average (54.16%), and in 2023-2024, the school's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate (43.42%) was higher than the state average (43.68%). However, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate (38.03% in 2024-2025 and 37.5% in 2023-2024) is lower than the state average.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $31,934 in 2023-2024 and a small student-teacher ratio of 7.8 to 1, the school's academic performance suggests that it may face significant challenges in improving student learning outcomes. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (54.13% in 2023-2024) indicates that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.
