Summary

Roberts K-8 School is an elementary school located in Syracuse, New York, serving grades PK-8 with 621 students. It is part of the Syracuse City School District, which is ranked 849 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's efforts, Roberts K-8 has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 2,162 and 2,429 out of 2,445 elementary schools over the past 10 years.

The school significantly underperforms 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 ranged from 6.67% (6th grade) to 20.97% (8th grade), compared to the state average of 50.86% to 56.61%. In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 2.33% (8th grade) to 23.29% (3rd grade), compared to the state average of 46.74% to 59.7%. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools for various student subgroups.

While the nearby schools in the Syracuse City School District, such as Seymour Dual Language Academy, STEAM At Dr King Elementary School, and Frazer K-8 School, also struggle with low academic performance, some charter schools like Citizenship And Science Academy Of Syracuse Charter School and Southside Academy Charter School appear to be outperforming the district schools in both academic achievement and student growth.

Open Quote I attended this school for 9 years and saw first-hand how fantastic a school it is. The teachers were great, and the atmosphere was safe and welcoming... I now live on the West Coast, but plan on moving back by the time I have children ready to begin school. I am so grateful to have had such an enriching beginning to my education. Close Quote
