Summary

Memorial Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Waterville, NY, serving 383 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Waterville Central School District. While the district is ranked 561 out of 874 in New York, Memorial Park Elementary has consistently performed below average, ranking between 858 and 1856 out of around 2,400 elementary schools in the state over the past 10 years.

Academic performance at Memorial Park Elementary is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from 32.2% to 49.15% across grades 3-6, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 54.15%. In math, proficiency rates ranged from 15.22% to 59.32%, again below the state averages of 51.2% to 59.7%. The school's performance on state science assessments is also below the state average, with only 23.91% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 45.02%. Nearby schools, such as John F Hughes Elementary School and Myles Elementary School, generally outperform Memorial Park Elementary on state assessments and have higher rankings among New York elementary schools.

Memorial Park Elementary also faces challenges related to its student demographics, with 50.13% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, a relatively high percentage compared to nearby schools. The school's performance rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, are generally in the bottom half or bottom third of New York elementary schools. While the school's per-student spending has increased significantly, from $11,824 in 2021-2022 to $26,278 in 2023-2024, and the student-teacher ratio has decreased, these changes have not yet translated into improved academic performance.
