Summary

Morrisonville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Saranac Central School District. The school has 368 students and is located in Morrisonville, NY. Despite increased spending and resources, Morrisonville Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

The school's challenges appear to be multifaceted, with poor performance across all student subgroups and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. For example, in 2024-2025, only 35.59% of 3rd graders, 18% of 4th graders, and 26.67% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61% respectively. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past several years, with little improvement observed.

Interestingly, the nearby Saranac Elementary School, which is also part of the Saranac Central School District, consistently outperforms Morrisonville Elementary on state assessments. Other nearby schools, such as Ausable Forks Elementary, Chazy Central Rural Elementary, and several schools in the Plattsburgh area, also generally outperform Morrisonville Elementary on academic measures.
