Summary

Delevan Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District, located in Delevan, NY. With 357 students, the school faces several key challenges, including consistently lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to state and district averages.

Delevan Elementary School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 1320-1816 out of 2434-2445 New York elementary schools over the past 5 years, and its ranking has declined from 3-4 stars to 1-2 stars in recent years. The school also struggles with performance across various student subgroups, with rankings for female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students all falling in the bottom 30-40% of New York elementary schools. Additionally, Delevan Elementary has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.99% to 55.18% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Delevan Elementary School to other nearby schools, such as Arcade Elementary, Ellicottville Elementary, Wales Primary, Colden Elementary, Franklinville Elementary, Harold O Brumsted Elementary, and Springville Elementary, Delevan consistently underperforms on test scores and overall school rankings. Despite a steady increase in spending per student, from $11,480 in 2020-2021 to $24,271 in 2023-2024, the school's performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution.
