Elementary Schools in Tonawanda City School District

Summary:

The Tonawanda City School District has only one elementary school, Tonawanda Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1358 out of 2413 schools in 2018-2019 to 1546 out of 2445 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tonawanda Elementary School's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for grades 3-5 are consistently lower than the New York state averages. The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with 51.55% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the higher per-student spending of $19,395, the school's academic performance continues to lag behind the state's averages, raising questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation.

While there are no other elementary schools within the Tonawanda City School District to directly compare Tonawanda Elementary School to, the school's declining performance and academic proficiency gaps suggest that the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement at the elementary level.
