Summary

Jericho Elementary School is a public elementary school in Centereach, New York, serving 421 students in grades K-9 as part of the Middle Country Central School District. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on academic assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly lower than the state and district across all grade levels.

Jericho Elementary School struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with the school's rankings for Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools. This indicates significant gaps in student group performance. Additionally, the school's overall statewide ranking has been low, consistently placing in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, and its SchoolDigger rating has ranged from 1 to 3 stars out of 5.

While Jericho Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $16,293 to $28,397 over the past few years, this high spending does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. In contrast, the nearby New Lane Memorial Elementary School, Holbrook Road School, and Oxhead Road School, which are also part of the Middle Country Central School District, generally outperform Jericho Elementary School on academic measures and have higher statewide rankings.
