Schoharie Elementary School

Summary:

Schoharie Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 347 students in grades K-5 in Schoharie, New York, which is part of the Schoharie Central School District. Despite having access to significant resources, the school has consistently underperformed academically compared to state averages and nearby schools.

Schoharie Elementary School's proficiency rates on New York State Assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, ranging from 22.41% to 38.33% proficient in English Language Arts and 26.32% to 39.29% proficient in Math across grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 42.6% to 47.05% in ELA and 48.93% to 58.03% in Math. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools over the past 5 years, maintaining a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance is particularly low for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 5% and 20% of New York elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups.

Interestingly, Schoharie Elementary School spends significantly more per student ($16,240 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance lags behind nearby higher-performing schools in the Schalmont, Guilderland, and Voorheesville districts, which have proficiency rates ranging from 47% to 79% in ELA and 68% to 79% in Math. These disparities suggest potential equity issues that may need to be addressed at Schoharie Elementary School.

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.
