L P Quinn Elementary School

Summary:

L P Quinn Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tupper Lake, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 353 students. Unfortunately, this school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years and performing well below the state average on academic assessments.

The school's academic performance is particularly low, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from just 1.85% to 13.51% and in math from 8.62% to 18.92%, compared to state averages of 42.6% to 47.05% in ELA and 48.93% to 58.03% in math. The school's performance is especially concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and students from low-income families, all of which rank in the bottom 5% of New York elementary schools. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, these persistent academic struggles suggest that factors beyond just student demographics, such as curriculum, instruction, and professional development, may need to be addressed.

Interestingly, the nearby Petrova Elementary School and Bloomingdale School, which are part of the Saranac Lake Central School District, perform significantly better than L P Quinn Elementary School on state assessments, despite serving a similar demographic of students. This suggests that district-level factors, such as policies, resources, and instructional practices, may play a crucial role in shaping the academic outcomes of these schools.

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.
