For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranged from 15-40%, while the district and state averages were significantly higher, often exceeding 50%. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, as well as for special education students.
Despite the high per-student spending at Hendy Avenue School, ranging from $9,252 to $22,668 over the past few years, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or statewide rankings over the past decade. In comparison, Broadway Elementary School, another school in the Elmira City School District, consistently outperforms Hendy Avenue School in both ELA and Math proficiency rates, as well as in overall statewide rankings. This suggests that Hendy Avenue School may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to better address the needs of its students and improve educational outcomes.
