Fort Ann Elementary School

Q: Is Fort Ann Elementary School a good school?

Fort Ann Elementary School ranks 1088 th of 2445 New York elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Fort Ann Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 231 students in grades PK-5 in the Fort Ann Central School District located in Fort Ann, New York. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in certain grade levels and subjects, but struggles in others, leading to a fluctuating ranking among New York elementary schools.

While Fort Ann Elementary School generally outperforms the nearby Glens Falls City School District schools, it lags behind the higher-performing Lake George Elementary School, which is ranked among the top 10% of New York elementary schools. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students and special education students showing stronger performance compared to the state average in the past, though this has declined in more recent years.

The school's relatively low per-student spending of $7,501 in the 2022-2023 school year, combined with its relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement, particularly for its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (around 40% in recent years). This could be an area of focus for the school to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
