Summary

Dr Weeks Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 682 students in grades PK-5 in the Syracuse City School District. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $26,070, it has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Academically, Dr Weeks Elementary School struggles significantly, with proficiency rates on New York State Assessments well below the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.66% of 3rd graders, 18.81% of 4th graders, and 23.16% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to over 54% statewide. The school's math proficiency rates are also very low, ranging from 10.38% to 27.42% across grades 3-5, far below the state averages of 54.16% to 59.7%. This pattern of underperformance is not unique to Dr Weeks, as several other schools in the Syracuse City School District, such as Seymour Dual Language Academy and STEAM At Dr King Elementary School, also struggle with low proficiency rates on state assessments.

The data suggests that Dr Weeks Elementary School, along with many other schools in the Syracuse City School District, face significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for their high-needs student populations. Despite the high per-student spending, the school has not shown any significant improvement in its academic performance over the past several years, highlighting the persistent achievement gaps observed in these high-poverty, urban schools.
