Waterville Central School District

The Waterville Central School District in New York operates two schools: Memorial Park Elementary School and Waterville Junior/Senior High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, providing educational opportunities in a community setting.

Waterville Junior/Senior High School stands out as a strong performer, consistently ranking in the top half of New York high schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which exceeds the state average, and its Regents exam proficiency rates are generally strong, particularly in subjects like Common Core English, Geometry, and U.S. History. In contrast, while Memorial Park Elementary School has a lower overall state ranking, it has shown improvement in its SchoolDigger rating, moving from 1 star to 2 stars in recent years, and its 3rd-grade ELA and math proficiency rates are close to or above the district and state averages.

Both schools in the Waterville Central School District have relatively high spending per student, with Waterville Junior/Senior High School spending $30,112 per student and Memorial Park Elementary School spending $26,278 per student. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios are low, at 10.4 and 10.9, respectively, indicating a focus on small class sizes. However, both schools also have a significant proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 50%, which suggests the district may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact student achievement.
