Summary

Gansevoort Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rome, New York, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 391 students. The school is part of the Rome City School District, which is ranked 816 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Gansevoort Elementary School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 2095 and 2435 out of around 2,400 schools over the past several years.

Gansevoort Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 7.55% to 16.36% across grades 3-6, compared to the New York state average of 50-56%. Similarly, in math, the proficiency rates ranged from 7.84% to 14.04%, compared to the state average of 51-60%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with the school's African American and Hispanic students ranking in the bottom 10% of their respective subgroups statewide, and the school's special education and economically disadvantaged students also performing very poorly compared to their peers.

When comparing Gansevoort Elementary School to other schools in the Rome City School District and nearby districts, the performance gap is quite stark. For example, Ridge Mills Elementary School, which is also in the Rome City School District, consistently outperforms Gansevoort Elementary School by a wide margin, with proficiency rates that are often double or triple those of Gansevoort. Despite the increased spending per student and the school's long-standing low performance, Gansevoort Elementary School has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic outcomes over the past several years.

From what I've seen of this school staff including the principal they all actually care aloit about the students and go the extra distance to help. I'm thankful that my children go to this school. Close Quote
