Summary

Wayne Central Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-4 in Ontario Center, New York, with 288 students. The school is part of the Wayne Central School District, which is ranked 332 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's math proficiency rates are close to or above the state average, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are consistently below the state average. This suggests that the school may need to focus more on improving its ELA instruction and support. Additionally, the school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from #552 in 2020-2021 to #1395 in 2024-2025, indicating that it is not keeping pace with the performance of other elementary schools in New York.

The school also faces disparities in subgroup performance, with female students, Hispanic and White students, as well as special education and economically disadvantaged students, having relatively low rankings compared to their peers statewide. This suggests that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps. When compared to nearby schools, such as Plank Road North Elementary School and Marion Elementary School, Wayne Central Elementary School's performance is generally lower, with lower proficiency rates and rankings.
