Summary

Hamagrael Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Delmar, New York, serving 331 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Bethlehem Central School District, which is ranked 125 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hamagrael Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of New York elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than the state average on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, 79.55% of 3rd graders, 69.35% of 4th graders, and 57.89% 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 math and science proficiency rates also exceed the state averages. However, the school's performance for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is less impressive, with rankings in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools in recent years.

Hamagrael Elementary's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages suggest a strong investment in resources and small class sizes, which may contribute to the school's academic success. The other elementary schools in the Bethlehem Central School District also perform well academically, with Elsmere Elementary standing out with a statewide ranking in the top 10% of New York elementary schools and exceptional performance on state assessments. In contrast, the nearby schools in the Albany City School District and Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District generally perform below the state averages on academic measures.
