Summary

Red Jacket Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Manchester-Shortsville Central School District in Shortsville, NY. With 331 students, the school is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, outperforming the district's overall 2-star rating.

One of Red Jacket Elementary's key strengths is its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in math. In the 2024-2025 school year, over 63% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scored proficient or better on state assessments, significantly outpacing the state averages. The school also performs well across different student subgroups, ranking in the top 1,000 New York elementary schools for female students, male students, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Red Jacket Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, compared to higher ratios at nearby schools like Victor Primary (11.3) and Palmyra-Macedon Primary (12.0).

While Red Jacket Elementary spends significantly more per student ($24,891 in 2023-2024) than nearby schools like Victor Primary ($20,455) and Victor Intermediate ($19,321), the school's academic achievements suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to its success. As the school continues to serve a high-needs student population, it will be important to identify and replicate the practices that are driving its strong performance, particularly in English Language Arts, where there is still room for improvement.
