Summary

Southside Elementary School is a public school in Buffalo, New York, serving 809 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Buffalo City School District, which is ranked 830 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Southside Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-1 star rating.

Southside Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Buffalo City School District and the state of New York in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 10% (5th grade) to 27.45% (7th grade), compared to the district's range of 26.26% to 31.99% and the state's range of 50.86% to 56.61%. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with low rankings for subgroups such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of around $29,500 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8-10.4 students per teacher, Southside Elementary School has not shown any consistent improvement in its academic performance or state rankings over the past decade. When compared to nearby schools in the Buffalo City School District, such as Ps 27 Hillery Park Academy and Lorraine Elementary School, Southside Elementary School generally performs worse academically, suggesting that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from and emulate the practices of these higher-performing schools.
