Summary:
The Elmira City School District in New York consists of 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 822 out of 865 school districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Ernie Davis Academy, the district's middle school, is the lowest-ranked school in the district but has strong performance on Regents exams, suggesting it may be doing a better job preparing students for high school-level coursework. In contrast, Broadway Elementary School is the highest-ranked school in the district, significantly outperforming the district and state averages on both ELA and math assessments for grades 3-6.
The district and its schools generally perform well below state averages on both ELA and math assessments, with proficiency rates often less than half the state's. Additionally, Elmira High School faces significant challenges, including a low graduation rate, high dropout rate, and high chronic absenteeism. While the high school's Regents exam performance is below state averages, it is generally better than the district's elementary and middle school performance, indicating the high school may be a relative strength compared to the lower grades.
