The city of Jamesville, New York is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Tecumseh Elementary School and Jamesville Elementary School) and one middle school (Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School). The data shows that Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School is the standout performer, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in New York state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Jamesville-Dewitt Middle School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 73.89% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43.68%. The school's math proficiency rates were also well above the state average across all grade levels. This high-quality education is likely supported by the school's lower student-to-teacher ratio of 10.5 and higher spending per student of $15,445.
While Tecumseh Elementary School is also performing well, with a 4-star rating and strong proficiency rates, Jamesville Elementary School is lagging behind, with a 3-star rating and lower proficiency rates. This suggests that there may be some differences in the quality of education or resources between the two elementary schools. Additionally, the middle school serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (29.89%) compared to the elementary schools (24.52% and 22.86%), which could have implications for the resources and support needed to ensure all students succeed.
