Summary

Samuel G Love Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 286 students in grades PK-4 in Jamestown, New York, which is part of the Jamestown City School District. The school faces significant academic and equity challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20-25% of New York elementary schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking.

On state assessments, the school's performance is significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21.21% of 3rd graders and 9.09% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 54.15% and 54.07% respectively. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and white students, as well as English Language Learners and students with special needs, consistently ranking in the bottom 25-30% of their respective subgroups statewide.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,031 to $21,738 in recent years, these resources do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The school's persistent low performance, even when compared to the broader Jamestown City School District, suggests that there may be deeper, systemic challenges facing the district or the community that need to be addressed. In contrast, Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, which is less than a mile away, consistently outperforms Samuel G Love on state assessments and has a higher statewide ranking.
