Best Public Schools in Springville, NY

Summary:

The city of Springville, New York is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Springville Elementary School, Griffith Institute High School, and Griffith Institute Middle School. These schools are part of the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District.

Among the three schools, Griffith Institute High School stands out as the academic standout, ranking in the top 17% of high schools in New York state. The school boasts strong Regents exam performance, with over 80% proficiency rates, and a 84.3% 4-year graduation rate that exceeds the state average. In contrast, the other two schools in the district, Springville Elementary School and Griffith Institute Middle School, have more average performance, ranking in the middle to lower half of their respective school types statewide.

Across the district, the schools have similar per-student spending levels, ranging from $25,209 to $26,852, which is above the state average. Student-teacher ratios are also relatively small, between 9.7 to 11.5 students per teacher. However, the district faces challenges, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% at Griffith Institute High School, and the underperformance of the elementary and middle schools on ELA and math assessments compared to state averages.
