Summary

Hornell Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-6 in the Hornell City School District in Hornell, New York. With 505 students, the school has consistently underperformed the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.53% to 44.71% in ELA and 23.53% to 38.74% in Math, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 59.7% in Math.

The school struggles to serve its diverse student population, with rankings for subgroups like Hispanic students, White students, and Special Education students in the bottom 20-30% of New York elementary schools. Additionally, Hornell Intermediate School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.6% to 63.52% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. While the school spends between $16,274 and $26,587 per student, which is higher than the state average, its performance has been declining over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1622 out of 2413 schools in 2018-2019 to 2067 out of 2445 schools in 2024-2025.

The challenges faced by Hornell Intermediate School are not unique in the region, as nearby schools like Wellsville Elementary, Ellis B. Hyde Elementary, and Vernon E. Wightman Primary also have similar low rankings and test scores. This suggests a broader challenge in the region to provide high-quality education, and the district and school leadership should prioritize addressing these issues to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
