Best Public Schools in West Seneca, NY

Summary:

The West Seneca, New York area is home to 11 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The data reveals notable differences in academic performance and student outcomes across these schools, with some standouts like Allendale Elementary School and West Middle School consistently outperforming their peers on state assessments.

While the two high schools, West Seneca West Senior High School and West Seneca East Senior High School, have the highest graduation rates in the West Seneca Central School District, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with schools like Northwood Elementary and Winchester-Potters Elementary struggling to meet proficiency standards on state assessments.

The analysis suggests a potential relationship between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of students from low-income families, such as East Middle School, tending to have lower proficiency rates. Additionally, the data highlights variations in student-teacher ratios and per-student spending across the schools, which may be contributing factors to the observed differences in educational outcomes.
