Boston Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Boston Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Hamburg Central School District in Hamburg, New York, with 231 students and a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments, outperforming the district and state in 3rd grade Math and 5th grade ELA, but underperforming in 4th grade ELA and 5th grade Science. Student group performance also varies, with the school ranking higher for male students and special education students compared to female students and economically disadvantaged students. The school's percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has declined in recent years, and its per-student spending has increased, suggesting effective resource allocation. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, indicating it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Hamburg Central School District, Boston Valley Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and student group performance. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Orchard Park Central School District, which has several elementary schools ranked among the top 25% of New York elementary schools. The school's ability to address the needs of its diverse student population and continue to invest in effective educational practices will be key to its future success.

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.
