Summary:
The 14461 zip code contains a single public elementary school, Gorham Elementary School, which serves grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 239 students. The school is part of the Gorham-Middlesex Central School District (Marcus Whitman), which is ranked 391 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating.
Gorham Elementary School has maintained a consistent statewide ranking of around 1500 out of 2400-2500 New York elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally lower than the district and state averages, though its 5th-grade math and science proficiency rates are closer to or above the district and state levels. The school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 59.41%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's consistent performance, its statewide ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools suggests opportunities for improvement in student outcomes. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the academic performance challenges, and the school's spending per student of $16,535 and student-teacher ratio of 11.8 provide additional context for understanding the school's performance.
