Best Elementary Schools in Hornell, NY

Summary:

The city of Hornell, New York is home to two elementary schools: Hornell Intermediate School and North Hornell School, both serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools are part of the Hornell City School District, and the data reveals that neither school is performing exceptionally well, with both consistently scoring below the state average on key academic measures.

Hornell Intermediate School appears to be the lower-performing of the two, with state assessment test scores in English Language Arts and Math significantly trailing the state average across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 38.89% of 3rd-grade students at Hornell Intermediate School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 54.15%. The school also struggles in Science, with 5th-grade students performing well below the state benchmark. In contrast, North Hornell School has a slightly better academic profile, though it still falls short of state standards.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the schools' performance, as Hornell Intermediate School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 59.6% in 2023-2024, compared to 38.84% at North Hornell School. Additionally, despite Hornell Intermediate School spending more per student ($26,587) than North Hornell School ($22,898), the higher spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources within the district.
