Best Public Schools in Waterville, NY

Summary:

The city of Waterville, New York is home to two schools: Memorial Park Elementary School and Waterville Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Waterville Central School District. While the high school has consistently ranked among the top 400 in New York state and excels on Regents exams, the elementary school has seen a decline in its state-wide ranking over the past three years and has mixed performance on state assessments.

Waterville Junior/Senior High School stands out with its strong performance on Regents exams, exceeding the state average in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. The school also maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, above the state average. In contrast, Memorial Park Elementary School has seen a drop in its state-wide ranking, and its performance on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math is more variable, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind.

Both schools serve a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the Waterville community faces economic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. The similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the two schools indicate that the district is allocating resources evenly, but the variable performance suggests that additional targeted interventions or support may be needed to address the unique needs of the student population.
