Summary:
The Orchard Park Central School District in New York is home to four elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, Ellicott Road Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state with exceptional proficiency rates on state assessments.
Ellicott Road Elementary School's 3rd-grade students have significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (80.73%) and Math (84.55%) compared to the district (67.82% and 75.86%, respectively) and state (54.15% and 59.7%) averages. The school's strong academic performance has earned it a statewide ranking between 225-383 over the past three school years. In contrast, the other elementary schools in the district, Windom Elementary School, Eggert Road Elementary School, and South Davis Elementary School, show more variable performance, with some lagging behind Ellicott Road and the district averages in several metrics.
While the four schools have relatively similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch varies significantly, from 7.95% at Ellicott Road to 18.37% at Windom Elementary. This suggests potential socioeconomic disparities that may be impacting student outcomes, and further analysis would be needed to understand how these demographic factors are influencing the schools' performance.
