Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,657 to $30,853 over the past few years, and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 7.2 to 8.0, its academic performance remains low compared to nearby schools such as York Central Elementary, Wyoming Central School, Wayland Elementary, and Geneseo Elementary, which tend to have higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. This suggests that factors other than funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may need to be addressed to improve the school's academic performance.
