Sidney Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Delaware County schools, welcoming 504 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 89.3% of the Sidney Elementary School's total enrollment.

Among the 20 schools in Delaware County, Delaware Academy High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 403 students, while Townsend Elementary School welcomed 367 students and came in third in the 2023-24 school year.

Sidney Elementary School is part of Sidney Central School District, which roughly covers three schools within Delaware County and has a main office in Sidney.

In the previous school year, Sidney Elementary School also had the highest number of students among Delaware County schools.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to improve students' school performance.

New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This represents a $1.5 billion increase compared to the previous year. The most significant portion of this budget is allocated to schools, with a total of $35.3 billion proposed. The new budget aims at increasing funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by rising inflation in the U.S.
