Catskill Elementary School

Summary:

Catskill Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Catskill Central School District, located in Catskill, NY. The school has 574 students and is ranked 613 out of 865 in New York, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Catskill Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. The school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with the school's rankings for Hispanic students, White students, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students all in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools. Despite the school district's higher-than-average spending per student ($18,815 in 2022-2023) and a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 9.8, the school's performance does not reflect this level of funding and resources.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as the Mill Road-Intermediate Grades school in the Red Hook Central School District, Catskill Elementary School generally underperforms in both ELA and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. The school's inconsistent performance trends and significant achievement gaps for certain student subgroups suggest the need for a comprehensive review of instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to improve outcomes for all 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.
