Armor Elementary School

Summary:

Armor Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hamburg, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 292 students. It is part of the Hamburg Central School District, which is ranked 458 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Armor Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Hamburg Central School District and the state of New York in terms of proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for male students and special education students, but struggling with female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Armor Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 255 out of 2,345 New York elementary schools in the 2013-2014 school year to a ranking of 1,244 out of 2,445 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (23.63% in 2022-2023) compared to the other nearby schools in the Hamburg Central School District.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Hamburg Central School District, such as Charlotte Avenue Elementary School and Boston Valley Elementary School, Armor Elementary School generally underperforms. The higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Armor Elementary School may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. However, the school's performance for male students and special education students indicates that it may have effective strategies in place for these subgroups, which could potentially be replicated to benefit the school's overall academic 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.
