Summary

Roscoe Conkling Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Utica City School District in Utica, New York. The school has 495 students and is ranked 2065 out of 2445 New York elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roscoe Conkling Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Utica City School District and the state of New York in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 31.94% compared to the district's 34.97% and the state's 54.15%. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with Asian students ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools, and African American and Hispanic students ranking in the bottom 50%. Additionally, Roscoe Conkling has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

When comparing Roscoe Conkling to other elementary schools in the Utica City School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. For example, nearby schools like General Herkimer Elementary School, Hugh R. Jones Elementary School, and Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School all have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups at Roscoe Conkling suggest that the school may not be effectively meeting the needs of its diverse student population, and the higher-than-average spending per student indicates that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to support student learning and achievement.
