Summary

W A Olmsted Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Harpursville, NY, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 319 students. The school is part of the Harpursville Central School District, which is ranked 776 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

W A Olmsted Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,744 and 2,256 out of over 2,300 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subjects, and it also underperforms compared to the district average. The school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as white students and male students, is particularly concerning, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these achievement gaps.

Despite the increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive meaningful change. When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as F P Donnelly School, Floyd Bell Elementary School, and Chenango Forks Elementary School, W A Olmsted Elementary School consistently underperforms, with lower academic proficiency rates and lower overall rankings.
