Summary

Colonial Village Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Niagara Falls, New York, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 390 students. The school is part of the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District, which is ranked 416 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colonial Village Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in terms of proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students and students with low socioeconomic status consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, while Hispanic students and students with special needs perform slightly better, ranking in the middle quartile. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $26,755 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.

Over the past several years, Colonial Village Elementary School's ranking among New York elementary schools has steadily declined, from being ranked 1,239 out of 2,352 schools in the 2014-2015 school year to being ranked 1,874 out of 2,445 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. When compared to other elementary schools in the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District and the Niagara Falls City School District, Colonial Village Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with West Street Elementary School consistently outperforming it in both ELA and Math proficiency rates.
