Summary

Edward Williams School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Mount Vernon School District in New York, with 406 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools for the past 5-10 years, indicating persistent challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students.

Edward Williams School's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 10-38% in ELA and 10-28% in Math, compared to the district's 40-53% in ELA and 27-60% in Math. The school's higher per-student spending compared to the district average may indicate an effort to provide additional resources and support, but the results suggest these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes.

When comparing Edward Williams School to other nearby schools in the Mount Vernon School District, such as Grimes School, Lincoln School, and Mount Vernon Honor Academy, it becomes clear that the academic performance of Edward Williams is consistently the lowest among its peers, suggesting opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed at these higher-performing schools.
