Summary

Tully Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 415 students in grades PK-5 in the Tully Central School District. The school generally performs better than the state average on New York State Assessments, with 70.21% of 4th graders and 60.42% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 54.07% and 56.61% respectively. In math, 57.45% of 4th graders and 38.78% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to state averages of 58.64% and 54.16%.

Tully Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 815 out of 2,352 elementary schools in 2014-2015 (3 stars) to 1,409 out of 2,413 in 2018-2019 (2 stars). In the most recent year (2024-2025), the school ranked 1,328 out of 2,445 and received a 2-star rating. The school's performance on state assessments varies across different student subgroups, with male students and low socioeconomic status students performing relatively well, but the school struggling with its white student and special education student populations.

Compared to nearby schools, Tully Elementary School generally outperforms Meachem Elementary School in the Syracuse City School District and Onondaga Nation School in the Lafayette Central School District, both of which struggle significantly, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools. However, Tully Elementary School's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio do not seem to be translating into significantly better outcomes, suggesting the school may need to focus on other factors to drive improvement.
