Summary:
The Oswego City School District in New York is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of economically disadvantaged students, they exhibit varying levels of academic performance and student demographics.
Among the standout schools, Minetto Elementary School ranks the highest in the district, performing above the state and district averages in several grade-level ELA and math assessments. In contrast, Kingsford Park Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates, with only 22.58% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 26.67% proficient in math. Charles E. Riley Elementary School also stands out, with the highest percentage of non-white students and strong performance in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and math assessments.
Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $17,690 to $20,591, the Oswego City School District as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to the state, with most schools scoring below state averages on standardized tests. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the district's resource allocation and the factors contributing to the low academic performance, particularly in light of the high rates of economically disadvantaged students across the district.
