Colonial Village Elementary School

Summary:

Colonial Village Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Niagara Falls, New York, serving 380 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District, which is ranked 448 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 students per teacher and higher per-student spending of $18,174 compared to the state average, Colonial Village Elementary School has consistently underperformed on the New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better, but White, Multi-racial, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students consistently performing in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District, such as West Street Elementary School and Tuscarora Elementary School, Colonial Village Elementary School consistently underperforms in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (48.42% in 2022-2023) suggests that the student population may face socioeconomic challenges that could be contributing to the school's academic struggles.

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.
