Otisville Elementary School

Summary:

Otisville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 589 students in grades K-5 in the Minisink Valley Central School District in Otisville, New York. While the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some interesting insights that differentiate it from its peers.

Otisville Elementary School's performance on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math is generally below the state and district averages, with no significant improvements observed in recent years. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly for its African American students but very low for its White and Special Education students. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the state average.

Despite the higher spending per student at Otisville Elementary School, the academic performance does not seem to reflect the additional resources. When compared to nearby schools, such as Circleville Elementary School and Anna S. Kuhl Elementary School, Otisville's performance is less impressive. These findings suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better utilize the available funding and improve student outcomes, particularly for its diverse student population.

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.
