Summary

Minoa Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 316 students in grades K-5 in the East Syracuse Minoa Central School District in Minoa, New York. Over the past several years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a current statewide ranking of 1693 out of 2445 schools and a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Minoa Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York state assessments, is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 42.59% compared to the state average of 54.15%, and its 5th grade math proficiency rate was 46.55% compared to the state average of 54.16%. The school's performance also varies significantly across student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and white students performing better than the school's overall student population. Minoa Elementary's special education and economically disadvantaged students also struggle, with lower proficiency rates compared to their peers.

While Minoa Elementary spends significantly more per student ($28,408 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, this does not seem to translate into stronger academic outcomes. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which is lower than the nearby Fremont Elementary and Woodland Elementary schools, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings. Minoa Elementary's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past several years, with proficiency rates remaining below state and district averages.
