Summary:
The Vestal Central School District in New York is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standouts that consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state.
African Road Elementary School and Vestal Hills Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the district, earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and outperforming state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. Glenwood Elementary School and Clayton Avenue Elementary School, on the other hand, lag behind their peers in several subject areas.
Spending per student varies across the schools, from $14,039 to $18,452, but this does not necessarily correlate with academic performance. Factors such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership appear to play a more significant role in student outcomes. Additionally, the schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have stronger academic performance compared to the district and state averages, suggesting these schools are effectively supporting their more economically disadvantaged student populations.
