Summary

Hamilton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Hamilton Central School District in Hamilton, NY. The school has 264 students and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Hamilton Elementary School generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. For example, in 2024-2025, 68.29% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 54.07%. However, the school's performance in 3rd grade ELA (44.74% proficient) and 5th grade Math (43.9% proficient) lags behind the state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students and white students outperforming their peers. In contrast, students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform significantly worse.

Compared to the nearby elementary schools, such as E.A. McAllister Elementary in the Sherrill City School District, Hamilton Elementary School generally performs better on state assessments, particularly in Math. However, the school faces challenges in addressing equity gaps and ensuring consistent performance across all grade levels. Continued focus on data-driven instructional practices, targeted interventions, and collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools could help Hamilton Elementary School further improve student outcomes.
