Best Public Schools in Lewiston, NY

Summary:

The city of Lewiston, New York has only one school, Tuscarora Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 91 students. The school is part of the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District, which is ranked 448 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating.

Tuscarora Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 45.45% compared to the district's 36.11% and the state's 42.6%.

The school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate was 0%, significantly lower than the district's 34.95% and the state's 35%.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $43,470 and small student-teacher ratio of 4.9, the academic performance at Tuscarora Elementary School appears to be an area of concern. The school's high free and reduced lunch rate of 52.75% suggests that it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can be a factor in academic performance and resource availability. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resource allocation, and support for students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds could provide valuable insights to help improve educational outcomes.
