Summary

Portville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 534 students in grades PK-6 in Portville, New York. It is part of the Portville Central School District, which is ranked 158 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Portville Elementary School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Portville Elementary School is a standout institution, consistently outperforming the state average on New York State Assessments across grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for all grades tested (3rd through 6th). Additionally, the school's per-student spending has steadily increased, rising from $10,519 in 2020-2021 to $20,350 in 2023-2024, which may contribute to its academic success. Portville Elementary School also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.5 to 13.3 students per teacher in recent years, which could be another factor in its strong performance.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Cuba-Rushford Elementary, Bolivar-Richburg Elementary, and schools in the Olean City School District, Portville Elementary School generally outperforms these schools on state assessments. This suggests Portville Elementary School is a strong performer in the region, despite serving a population with a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which is a notable achievement.
