Summary

Cicero Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 522 students in grades K-4 in the North Syracuse Central School District in Cicero, New York. The school has consistently ranked in the middle of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, typically in the 1000-1400 range out of around 2400 schools, and has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cicero Elementary generally outperforms its district on state assessments in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, with 52.25% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 39.49% for the district, and 56.76% proficient or better in Math compared to 46.57% for the district. The school performs relatively well for its White and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools, but struggles with its Asian and English Language Learner subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, around $23,500 compared to $15,000, Cicero Elementary's academic performance is only moderately above its district and the state, suggesting the school may not be using its resources as effectively as possible.

Compared to nearby schools in the North Syracuse Central School District, Cicero Elementary generally outperforms the other elementary schools, though the differences are not dramatic. Schools like Lakeshore Road and Karl W Saile Bear Road have similar performance to Cicero. The school's statewide ranking has also declined from the 800s in 2015-2016 to the 1100s in more recent years, indicating it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements at other schools across the state.
