Moreau Elementary School

Summary:

Moreau Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the South Glens Falls Central School District, with 251 students. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on the New York State Assessments, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels.

Despite a relatively high per-student spending level of $15,331 in the 2022-2023 school year, Moreau Elementary School has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools. The school has been rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating below-average performance. Additionally, the school struggles to support certain student subgroups, with the school's rankings for female, male, special education, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools.

The academic challenges faced by Moreau Elementary School appear to be part of a broader pattern of underperformance within the South Glens Falls Central School District, as nearby schools such as Harrison Avenue Elementary and Tanglewood Elementary also perform poorly on state assessments and have low statewide rankings. Socioeconomic factors and resource allocation may be contributing to the school's struggles, as Moreau Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families and a high student-teacher ratio despite the high per-student spending.

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.
