Summary

Union Pleasant Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 661 students in grades K-5 in the Hamburg Central School District in New York. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, going from a high of 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars in 2015-2016 to just 1 out of 5 stars in 2023-2024.

Academically, Union Pleasant Avenue Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates on New York state assessments generally lower than the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 53.77% compared to the district's 52.91% and the state's 54.15%. The school also faces challenges in supporting certain student subgroups, with rankings for female, white, special education, and economically disadvantaged students all in the bottom half of New York elementary schools.

Despite relatively high per-student spending of $21,539 in 2023-2024, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is higher than nearby Boston Valley Elementary, Armor Elementary, and Charlotte Avenue Elementary schools, which generally outperform Union Pleasant Avenue Elementary on state assessments. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve and better serve its student population.
