Summary:

Zip code 14539 (Retsof, NY) is home to a single elementary school, York Central Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 within the York Central School District.

This small school of 275 students stands out for its exceptional resources, including a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.1:1 and a high per-student spending of $32,029. However, these advantages do not currently translate into strong academic results. The school ranks in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools (18th percentile) and has experienced a sharp three-year decline from a 48th percentile ranking. Test scores are significantly below state averages in nearly every subject and grade, with the most dramatic drop occurring between 3rd and 4th grade. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency is just 32.56% compared to the state average of 58.64%, and 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 27.66% versus the state's 56.61%.

Despite the overall trend, there are a few relative bright spots. 3rd-grade math proficiency (59.09%) is nearly identical to the state average (59.70%), suggesting a strong early math foundation. Additionally, 5th-grade science scores (-6.72 points from the state average) are the school's closest performance to the state average outside of 3rd-grade math. For parents, this data paints a picture of a well-funded school with small class sizes that is currently underperforming academically and facing a concerning downward trend, particularly in the upper elementary grades.
