Summary

Maynard P Wilson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 479 students in grades PK-5 in Adams Center, New York, which is part of the South Jefferson Central School District. The school generally outperforms the district and the state of New York in proficiency rates for the NY State Assessments, with 60% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 73.13% proficient in math, compared to 50.82% and 64.52% for the district, respectively.

However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, is significantly lower than the overall school performance and the state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 1132 out of 2413 NY elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1309 out of 2445 in 2024-2025, with its rating dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars over this period. While the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $9,468 in 2020-2021 to $21,952 in 2023-2024, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for all students.

Comparing Maynard P Wilson Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Black River School, which is part of the Carthage Central School District, could provide valuable insights to help the school improve, as Black River School outperforms Maynard P Wilson Elementary School in test scores, especially in math.
