Summary

Wayland Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 449 students in grades K-4 in the Wayland-Cohocton Central School District located in Wayland, New York. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with only 39.42% of 3rd graders and 55.32% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, and 44.66% of 3rd graders and 54.26% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, 59.7%, and 58.64% respectively.

Wayland Elementary School also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for its female and male students, as well as its special education students, and in the bottom 33% for its low socioeconomic status students. Despite a significant increase in per-student spending, from $10,733 in 2020-2021 to $23,604 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 950 out of 2,395 New York elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,600 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Livonia Elementary School and Honeoye Elementary School, Wayland Elementary School generally underperforms on key academic metrics. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems for struggling students in order to improve outcomes and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
