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. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade within the Waterville Central School District.

Waterville Junior/Senior High School stands out with a strong 91.6% 4-year graduation rate and a low 6.6% dropout rate, both better than the state average. The high school also performs well on state assessments, particularly in 7th grade Math. In contrast, Memorial Park Elementary School shows declining academic performance as students progress through the grades, with proficiency rates dropping in upper elementary subjects like 5th grade Math and 6th grade English Language Arts.

Both schools face similar challenges, including a predominantly white student population with limited racial diversity and a significant percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing chronic absenteeism at the high school and evaluating curriculum and support systems at the elementary school could be important areas of focus for the district. Overall, the Waterville school system demonstrates both strengths and opportunities for improvement to ensure all students receive a quality education.
