Elementary Schools in McGraw Central School District

Summary:

The McGraw Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, McGraw Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 1,093 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,674 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025, and a 2-star rating out of 5 in the most recent year.

McGraw Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 6th-grade Math proficiency rate (56.67%) was higher than the state average (51.2%). However, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate (29.41%) is significantly lower than the state average (45.02%) in 2024-2025. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (55.75% in 2023-2024), indicating a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic performance.

Despite the school's below-average proficiency rates in several subject areas, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 and a higher-than-average per-student spending of $27,176 for the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest that the school is allocating resources to support smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized instruction, but this has not yet translated into consistently strong academic outcomes. The school and district have an opportunity to identify and address the root causes of these performance gaps and implement targeted interventions to improve student learning.
