Wayland Elementary School

Summary:

Wayland Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 466 students in grades K-4 in the Wayland-Cohocton Central School District located in Wayland, New York. The school's performance has been a concern, with consistently below-average test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state averages, as well as struggles across different student subgroups.

Wayland Elementary School's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 32.58% of 3rd graders and 34.07% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 42.6% and 47.05%, respectively. In Math, the school performed slightly better, but still below the state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 62.66%, which is much higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Livonia Elementary School, Wayland Elementary School generally performs worse on test scores and has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 712 out of 2,345 schools in 2013-2014 to 1,493 out of 2,445 schools in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and suggests that the school may be struggling to keep up with the academic standards of other schools in the state. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Wayland Elementary School may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and targeted interventions and support could potentially help the school improve its student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
