Summary

Elm Street Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Waverly, New York, serving grades 1-4 with a total enrollment of 440 students. The school is part of the Waverly Central School District, which is ranked 492 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elm Street Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,400 and 2,000 out of over 2,400 schools in recent years. The school's student performance on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math is significantly below the state average, with only 43.59% of 3rd graders and 37.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 54.15% and 54.07%, respectively. In Math, the proficiency rates were 52.14% for 3rd grade and 38.39% for 4th grade, compared to the state averages of 59.7% and 58.64%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students and special education students.

When comparing Elm Street Elementary School to other nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Lincoln Street Elementary School, which is in the same school district, has consistently higher rankings and student performance on state assessments. Additionally, Tioga Elementary School, which is located about 10 miles away, has significantly higher student proficiency rates in both ELA and Math, as well as a higher overall school ranking. These findings suggest that Elm Street Elementary School may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
