Summary

Remsen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Remsen Central School District in Remsen, NY. The school has 226 students and is ranked 1641 out of 2445 New York elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district as a whole is ranked 402 out of 874 in New York and has a 3-star rating.

Remsen Elementary consistently underperforms the state average on New York State Assessments across grades and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 34-52% in ELA and 34-69% in Math, compared to the state averages of 54-57% in ELA and 54-60% in Math. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 38.5-50.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. Additionally, Remsen Elementary struggles to support certain student subgroups, as evidenced by the school's lower rankings for male students and white students compared to female students and the overall school.

Remsen Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 1317 out of 2352 schools in 2014-2015 to 1641 out of 2445 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting the school is falling behind its peers in academic achievement. The school also lags behind many of the nearby elementary schools in the region, such as Deerfield Elementary, Marcy Elementary, and Poland Elementary, which consistently outperform Remsen on state assessments and have higher overall rankings. Despite spending significantly more per student ($30,431 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, Remsen Elementary's academic outcomes do not reflect this investment, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the school's ability to effectively support student learning.
