Forestville Elementary School

Summary:

Forestville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Forestville Central School District in Forestville, NY. The school has 236 students and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Forestville Elementary School generally performs better than the state average on New York State Assessments, particularly in Math. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 66.67% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 58.03%. The school also outperformed the district and state in 5th grade Math (51.85% vs 48.93%) and 6th grade Math (86.96% vs 50.56%). However, the school struggles more with its special education students, ranking in the bottom 50% of NY elementary schools in this subgroup. Compared to nearby schools like Gowanda Elementary School and A.J. Schmidt Elementary School, Forestville Elementary School generally outperforms them in test scores and other metrics.

While Forestville Elementary School performs well compared to the state, its performance has declined over the past several years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from the top 30% in 2017-2018 to the bottom 35% in 2020-2021, before rebounding slightly in more recent years. This suggests the school may be facing some challenges that are impacting student achievement. However, the district's high investment in the school through spending and small class sizes could be leveraged to address these challenges and help the school regain its previous high performance.

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.
