Summary

Greater Plains Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oneonta, New York, serving 280 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Oneonta City School District, which is ranked 622 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a rating of 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Greater Plains Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 808 and 1778 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the Oneonta City School District and the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics ranging from 32.61% to 57.78% and 25% to 54.35%, respectively, compared to the district's 40.46%-46.92% and 41.98%-55.28%, and the state's 54.07%-56.61% and 54.16%-59.7%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for special education students, who ranked in the bottom 2% of New York elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

When compared to the nearby Valleyview Elementary School and Riverside Elementary School, which are also part of the Oneonta City School District, Greater Plains Elementary School generally performs worse on state assessments and has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are higher than these nearby schools, suggesting that additional resources may not be translating into improved academic outcomes.
