Best Public Schools in Clarence Center, NY

Summary:

Clarence Center, New York is home to a single standout elementary school, Clarence Center Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Clarence Central School District. This school consistently outperforms state and district averages on New York State Assessments, particularly in Math, with a 4th-grade proficiency rate of 86.11% compared to 84.67% for the district and 58.03% for the state.

Clarence Center Elementary School's strong academic performance is likely supported by its low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 and high spending of $15,650 per student, both of which are above national averages. These factors may contribute to the school's ability to provide individualized attention and support to its 372 students. However, the school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 15.59% suggests it may not be serving a highly diverse student population, which could indicate potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation.

Overall, Clarence Center Elementary School appears to be a high-performing institution that is delivering strong academic outcomes for its students. The school's consistent success on state assessments, low student-teacher ratio, and high per-student spending make it a standout in the Clarence Central School District, which is ranked 119 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
