Buffalo, NY – A small Catholic institution in Olean once again tops the Business First rankings of Western New York elementary schools.
For the second year in a row, Southern Tier Catholic is in the number one position.
Ledgeview Elementary in Clarence was number two, followed in order by Country Parkway in Williamsville, Smallwood in Amherst, and Maple East, also in Williamsville.
280 schools were analyzed, with rankings determined using four years of standardized test data. The analysis does not include prominent private schools, such as Elmwood Franklin and the Park School, which opt out of state-wide testing.
