Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14033

Summary:

The 14033 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Colden Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 200 students. The school is part of the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District, which is ranked 533 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colden Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, appears to be generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the 2023-2024 school year. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (58.06%) and Math (64.52%) were slightly higher than the district and state averages, but its 5th grade Science proficiency rate (39.13%) was lower than the district (41.24%) and state (45.02%) averages. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with some improvement in 3rd grade proficiency rates from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending ($23,872) and low student-teacher ratio (9.9:1), which suggest significant resource allocation, the academic outcomes do not appear to be commensurate with the investment. The school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (42.5%) may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes. Further analysis of the school's specific strategies, resource allocation, and student demographics could help identify opportunities for improvement and better support student success.
