Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14847

Summary:

The 14847 zip code is home to a single elementary school, South Seneca Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 295 students. The school is part of the South Seneca Central School District, which is ranked 797 out of 874 school districts in New York and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

South Seneca Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is consistently well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 29.55% compared to the state average of 54.15%, and its 5th grade Math proficiency rate was 34.48% compared to the state average of 54.16%. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past few years, with proficiency rates often less than half the state averages.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it appears to have relatively high per-student spending at $42,732, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.9, indicating a relatively small class size. However, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as 49.15% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies to address the learning gaps and better support its students.
