Summary

Northwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hilton, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 735 students. The school is part of the Hilton Central School District, which is ranked 447 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northwood Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were generally lower than the state and district, except for 6th-grade ELA and Math, where the school outperformed. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency was also lower than state and district averages. However, the school's multi-racial students have consistently performed well, ranking in the top quartile of New York elementary schools for the past three years.

Northwood Elementary has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $10,051 in 2020-2021 to $22,252 in 2023-2024, suggesting more resources and funding. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.0 to 11.4 over the past three years, lower than the state average. When compared to nearby schools, Northwood generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, particularly in the upper grades. However, the school's increasing percentage of economically disadvantaged students, from 16.82% in 2021-2022 to 23.81% in 2023-2024, may present challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence.
