Summary

Sandy Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Sandy Creek Central School District. The school has 381 students and is located in Sandy Creek, NY, a district ranked 599 out of 874 in New York and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Sandy Creek Elementary School has relatively high spending per student at $29,309 and a higher student-teacher ratio of 13.9, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2024-2025, only 40.82% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 54.15%, and only 27.66% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 59.7%. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with rankings in the bottom 25% for female students and white students, and the bottom 10% for special education students and low socioeconomic status students.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Maynard P. Wilson Elementary School, which had 73.13% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math in 2024-2025, Sandy Creek Elementary School's performance is significantly lower. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that it is struggling to keep up with the performance of other elementary schools in the state. These challenges raise questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and strategies in supporting student success.
