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.

We have had our children in Menands Elementary School since 2009. Mrs. Meanie was the school superintendent and we loved her but she has since retired. Mrs. Meanie was fair, had children of her own, didn't take crap and kept the school in check. We now have a new superintendent; Maureen A. Long whom insists you call her Dr. Long even though she is not a Medical Doctor (yes I said it) and the school is going downhill. We are experiencing bullying, items getting stolen and nothing being done about it. She has no children of her own, no previous experience overseeing schools. We have noticed a big change in the teachers’ demeanor as well, you can tell they are not as happy as they once were in previous years. They will tell the kids in class, sorry, you have to do this test because Dr. Long said so or you must learn something a certain way even if you are not comprehending it because Dr. Long insists it be done this way. This is being stated over and over again. We have had a huge influx of children from other areas including from different countries and if they are of a certain skin color, they can get away with anything. No consequences. I'm so sad to state that if you have a choice of other schools to send your kids to, do it. Menands is not the same any longer and Dr. Long could care less. She's on a 3 year contract. Close Quote

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.
