Summary

Broadway Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Elmira City School District in Elmira, New York. With 363 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools by SchoolDigger, earning a 1-2 star rating out of 5 over the past several years.

Broadway Elementary struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 32.97% of 6th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 50.86% statewide. The school also faces challenges in serving certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 5% for African American students and the bottom 15% for students with special needs. Despite spending significantly more per student ($23,156 in 2023-2024) than the state average, Broadway Elementary has been unable to demonstrate sustained academic growth over time.

When compared to other elementary schools in the area, Broadway Elementary consistently underperforms. For instance, Center Street School in the nearby Horseheads Central School District outperforms Broadway Elementary across multiple grade levels and subject areas. The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at Broadway Elementary, ranging from 55.59% to 62.12% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
