Summary

Schoharie Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Schoharie, NY, with 355 students. The school is part of the Schoharie Central School District, which is ranked 711 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schoharie Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from 33.9% to 50.88% across grades 3-5, compared to the state averages of 54.15% to 56.61%. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, special education, and economically disadvantaged students all in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools. Despite relatively high spending per student at $29,048 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, the school's academic performance has declined over the past 10 years, dropping from 1163 out of 2,352 schools in 2014-2015 to 1992 out of 2,445 schools in 2024-2025.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Lynnwood Elementary, Voorheesville Elementary, and Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary significantly outperform Schoharie Elementary School on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that Schoharie Elementary School may be underperforming relative to its peers, and a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the underlying issues and improve the educational experience for its students.
