Best Public Schools in Lewiston, NY

Summary:

The city of Lewiston, New York has only one public elementary school, Tuscarora Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Tuscarora Elementary is part of the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District and has a small student population of just 91 students, the majority of whom are Native American.

Despite the school's small size and high per-student spending of $43,470, Tuscarora Elementary is not a standout performer academically. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. This consistently low academic achievement has resulted in Tuscarora Elementary being ranked in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in New York by SchoolDigger. Potential equity concerns may be contributing to the school's poor performance, as over 50% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Overall, the data suggests that Tuscarora Elementary School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes and potential solutions to address the school's persistent challenges, such as its small size, high spending, and low academic outcomes.
