Elba Central School District

The Elba Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district - Elba Elementary School and Elba Junior-Senior High School. Based on the available data, Elba Junior-Senior High School appears to be the standout school in the district, outperforming the district and state averages on several key metrics.

Elba Junior-Senior High School has a higher SchoolDigger rating of 3 stars, compared to 1-2 stars for Elba Elementary School. The high school boasts a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average, and a 4.5% dropout rate, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, Elba Junior-Senior High School students perform better than the district and state averages on most Regents exams, including a 100% proficiency rate in Common Core Algebra II and a 93.75% proficiency rate in Common Core English Language Arts.

In contrast, Elba Elementary School's proficiency rates on the NY State Assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. However, the school's SchoolDigger rating has improved from 1 star to 2 stars over the past few years, suggesting some positive progress. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Elba Elementary at 8.3 and Elba Junior-Senior High at 7.8, which may contribute to their ability to provide more individualized attention and support for students. The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, over 40%, indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which can present unique challenges for the district.
