Summary

Cornwall Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 577 students in grades K-4 in the Cornwall Central School District in Cornwall, New York. The school consistently ranks in the top 20-25% of New York elementary schools, with a strong academic performance that outpaces the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency for 3rd and 4th grade students.

Cornwall Elementary School's academic success is evident across most student subgroups, with the school ranking in the top 25-30% of New York elementary schools for female, Asian, and White students. However, the school struggles with its English Language Learner and Special Education populations, ranking in the bottom 10-20% for these subgroups. The school's high per-student spending of $24,230, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8 may contribute to its overall academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Cornwall Elementary School outperforms the Cornwall-On-Hudson Elementary School and Willow Avenue Elementary School, which are also part of the Cornwall Central School District. The school also significantly outperforms the nearby Newburgh City School District, which has a lower socioeconomic status and lower academic performance. Additionally, Cornwall Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 1-12 schools in New York for military-connected students, indicating a strong support system for this student population.
