Summary

Wheeler Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Nedrow, New York, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 244 students. The school is part of the Onondaga Central School District, which is ranked 319 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wheeler Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 1016 out of 2445 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state average in English Language Arts and Math, with stronger performance in Math. However, the school has struggled to support its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools. Additionally, male students at Wheeler Elementary School have outperformed female students on state assessments.

Wheeler Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, suggesting a significant investment in its educational program. When compared to nearby schools, Wheeler Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better than the Onondaga Central School District average, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Split Rock Elementary School in the West Genesee Central School District. This highlights the need for Wheeler Elementary School to identify and implement best practices from its higher-performing peers to improve overall student outcomes.
