Summary

Northside School is an elementary school located in Fairport Central School District, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 564 students. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across grades 3-5, with 68.09% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA and 73.03% proficiency in 5th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 54.15% and 54.16%, respectively.

Northside School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the other schools in the Fairport Central School District, such as Jefferson Avenue School and Brooks Hill School. However, when compared to schools in the higher-performing Pittsford Central School District, Northside lags behind in certain metrics, such as ELA and Math proficiency rates. This could be due to the school's relatively higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 26.24% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Northside School has shown a consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the years, moving from the 843rd position in 2018-2019 to the 671st position in 2024-2025, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's commitment to supporting student success is evident in its relatively higher per-student spending of $23,095 in 2023-2024, although its student-teacher ratio of 11.1 is slightly higher than the nearby Pittsford and Penfield schools.
