Summary:
The 14092 zip code has only one school, Tuscarora Elementary School, which is part of the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District. This small school, with just 78 students, has faced some challenges in recent years, with declining academic performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and science.
Tuscarora Elementary School's math proficiency rates have been relatively strong, with 80% of 3rd-grade students meeting proficiency in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's ELA and science proficiency rates have been lower, ranging from 11.11% in 5th-grade ELA to 16.67% in 5th-grade science. The school also serves a high-need student population, with 66.67% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's high spending per student, at $61,233 for the 2023-2024 school year, the declining academic performance is a concern and warrants further investigation. The Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District, ranked 416 out of 874 in New York, will need to focus on addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's challenges and developing strategies to support student learning and achievement.
