The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments are consistently lower than the state averages, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has been increasing, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When comparing Harvey C Fenner Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Paul B D Temple Elementary School, Sinclairville Elementary School, Bemus Point Elementary School, and Robert H Jackson Elementary School, the data shows that Harvey C Fenner Elementary School generally performs worse on key metrics, such as statewide ranking, test scores, and free and reduced lunch rates. The school's declining performance over the years and its underperformance compared to nearby schools suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population and improve overall academic 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.
