Elementary Schools in Syracuse City School District

Summary:

The Syracuse City School District contains 19 elementary schools serving grades PK-8, with the majority being PK-5 or PK-6 schools. The district as a whole is ranked 838 out of 865 school districts in New York and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance.

A few schools stand out as performing better than the district and state averages. Syracuse Latin School ranks 1050 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and is rated 3 out of 5 stars, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state. Edward Smith K-8 School and Lemoyne Elementary School also have higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages.

However, the majority of schools in the district struggle significantly, with most schools scoring below 20% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math. This disparity in performance is likely linked to the high rates of economic disadvantage, with several schools having over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The data suggests a correlation between higher per-student spending and better academic outcomes, as well as potential benefits of smaller class sizes, but the district as a whole faces significant challenges in improving student achievement.
