Riverside Elementary School

Summary:

Riverside Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Oneonta City School District in Oneonta, New York. The school has 224 students and is ranked 1773 out of 2445 New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverside Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 24.32% for 5th grade to 42.11% for 3rd grade, compared to the district's 34.21%-36.44% and the state's 42.6%-47.05%. Similarly, in Math, Riverside's proficiency rates ranged from 31.43% for 5th grade to 48.72% for 3rd grade, compared to the district's 41.12%-44.44% and the state's 48.93%-58.03%. The school's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, and students with special needs, are also in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools. Additionally, Riverside Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 23.35% to 52.63% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby Greater Plains Elementary School and Valleyview Elementary School, which are also part of the Oneonta City School District, generally perform better than Riverside Elementary School on test scores and other metrics. The school's higher spending per student compared to the state average may indicate that the district is allocating additional resources to the school, but the data suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap.

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.
