Summary

Maple Avenue School is an elementary school in Niagara Falls, New York, serving 383 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Niagara Falls City School District, which is ranked 821 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Avenue School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1352 and 2264 over the past 10 years, and a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 10.26% to 45.61% in English Language Arts and 10.26% to 30.56% in Math, compared to the state averages of 54.15% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 59.7% in Math.

While Maple Avenue School struggles academically, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Seventy Ninth Street School and Geraldine J Mann School, perform slightly better on state assessments. Additionally, Niagara Charter School, a public charter school located outside the Niagara Falls City School District, significantly outperforms Maple Avenue School and the district as a whole on state assessments, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state averages. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies may be contributing to the academic challenges at Maple Avenue School.
