Summary

J D George Elementary School is a public elementary school in Verona, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 413 students. The school is part of the Sherrill City School District, which is ranked 400 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

J D George Elementary School has had a mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 668 out of 2,352 elementary schools in 2014-2015 (4-star rating) to 1,680 out of 2,434 in 2021-2022 (2-star rating). The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the Sherrill City School District and the state average, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. When compared to other elementary schools in the district, such as E.A. McAllister Elementary School, J D George Elementary School consistently ranks lower and underperforms on state assessments.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.7% in 2021-2022 to 43.2% in 2022-2023, suggests a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the surrounding area. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $12,532 in 2020-2021 to $22,725 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. However, this increased funding does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning.
