Summary:

Oppenheim-Ephratah-St Johnsville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in St Johnsville, NY, with 391 students. The school is part of the Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville Central School District, which is ranked 712 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,817 to $17,500 over the past few years, Oppenheim-Ephratah-St Johnsville Elementary consistently performs below the state average on New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 19.15% to 36.73% in ELA and 19.15% to 47.06% in Math, compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 47.05% in ELA and 48.93% to 58.03% in Math. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who are performing in the bottom 20% of their peer groups statewide.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Warren Street School, Benton Hall Academy, and Harry Hoag School, Oppenheim-Ephratah-St Johnsville Elementary School generally performs worse on state assessments. Additionally, the school's enrollment has decreased from 391 students in 2023-2024 to 391 students in 2023-2024, which could present challenges in terms of maintaining resources and staffing levels. These factors suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies and resource allocation to address the school's significant academic challenges and improve 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.
