Summary

Onondaga Nation School is a small elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Nedrow, NY, with a student population of 121. Despite its small size and high per-student spending, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools and has received 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Onondaga Nation School faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state and Lafayette Central School District averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025 projected data, the school's ELA proficiency rates range from 0-26.67%, compared to the state average of 50-56%. The school also ranks particularly low for its student subgroups, often in the bottom 1-2% of schools statewide for its Native American, special education, and low-income students.

Onondaga Nation School's persistent underperformance compared to nearby schools like C. Grant Grimshaw School and Jamesville Elementary School suggests systemic issues that have not been adequately addressed. Despite the high per-student spending, the school has been unable to make meaningful, sustained improvements in its academic outcomes over the past decade, raising questions about resource allocation and utilization.
