Wales Primary School

Public Grades PK, KG-3

Summary

Wales Primary School is an elementary school located in East Aurora, New York, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 224 students. It is part of the Iroquois Central School District, which is ranked 298 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wales Primary School has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the district and state averages, its 4th-grade students perform better in these subjects. However, the school faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the years. Additionally, there are achievement gaps among specific student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and special education students, who perform lower than the overall school performance. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, Elma Primary School and Marilla Primary School, which are also part of the Iroquois Central School District, generally perform better than Wales Primary School on state assessments, especially in ELA. Additionally, South Davis Elementary School, part of the Orchard Park Central School District, outperforms Wales Primary School on state assessments across all grade levels and subjects.
