Summary

John T Waugh Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Angola, NY, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 313 students. The school is part of the Evans-Brant Central School District (Lake Shore), which is ranked 668 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

John T Waugh Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency was 33.33% compared to the district's 48.12% and the state's 54.15%. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade Math proficiency was 40% compared to the district's 49% and the state's 54.16%.

The nearby Highland Elementary School and A.J. Schmidt Elementary School, which are also part of the Evans-Brant Central School District (Lake Shore), have generally outperformed John T Waugh Elementary School on the state assessments, suggesting that there may be opportunities for the district to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools.
