Harry E Elden Elementary School

Summary:

Harry E Elden Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Baldwinsville Central School District in New York, with 479 students. While the Baldwinsville Central School District is ranked 362 out of 865 school districts in New York and rated 3 out of 5 stars, Harry E Elden Elementary School has consistently performed below the district and state averages on the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with 3rd grade ELA at 51.39% (vs. district 54.57% and state 42.6%), 4th grade ELA at 52.24% (vs. district 57.95% and state 47.05%), and 5th grade ELA at 51.47% (vs. district 55.5% and state 43.68%). The school's performance is also notably lower for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, Special Education students, and Economically Disadvantaged students, who rank in the bottom half of New York elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Mae E Reynolds School and L Pearl Palmer Elementary School, also part of the Baldwinsville Central School District, generally outperform Harry E Elden Elementary School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and overall rankings. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,844 in the 2022-2023 school year, this higher spending does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.

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.
