Summary

Trumansburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Trumansburg Central School District, with 411 students. The school's academic performance has been mixed compared to state and district averages. While its 4th grade ELA and math proficiency rates matched the district, its 3rd grade proficiency rates lagged behind. However, the school excelled in 4th grade science, with a 92.19% proficiency rate in 2021-2022, well above the state average.

Trumansburg Elementary has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 33.77% to 35.48% in recent years. The school's student-teacher ratio of around 11:1 is slightly higher than the nearby Ithaca City School District schools. While Trumansburg Elementary generally outperforms Newfield Elementary School, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Ithaca City School District, such as South Hill School, Cayuga Heights Elementary School, and Northeast School.

Trumansburg Elementary's per-student spending has increased significantly, from $13,502 in 2020-2021 to $23,396 in 2023-2024, suggesting a concerted effort to improve resources and support. However, it's unclear if this increased spending has translated into improved academic outcomes, as the school's performance on state assessments has been mixed. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with White and male students generally performing better than the state averages, while special education students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds lag behind.
