Summary:
The city of Olean, New York is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. The schools in Olean face several challenges, with the Olean Senior High School seeing a decline in its statewide ranking and overall rating, and the elementary schools, East View Elementary and Washington West Elementary, consistently performing below state averages in ELA and Math proficiency.
The schools in Olean have a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. This may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed across the schools. The Olean Intermediate-Middle School, an alternative school serving grades 2-10, also has relatively low test scores compared to the state.
The lack of middle school data in the provided information makes it difficult to assess the academic progression of students from elementary to high school. However, the overall findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes in the Olean City School District and the Cattaraugus-Allegany-Erie-Wyoming BOCES district, which includes the alternative schools in the area.
