Memorial Park Elementary School

Summary:

Memorial Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Waterville, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the Waterville Central School District, which is ranked 453 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial Park Elementary School has had a mixed academic performance, with its ranking among New York elementary schools fluctuating in the middle to lower range. While some grades have performed above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, others have been below the state average. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students and white students generally outperforming the school's overall student population. However, the school's performance for students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds has been consistently lower than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school has seen a significant increase in its per-student spending, from $12,747 in the 2019-2020 school year to $19,764 in the 2022-2023 school year.

When compared to nearby schools, Memorial Park Elementary School's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools, such as the John F Hughes Elementary School in the Utica City School District, it lags behind higher-performing schools like the Hamilton Elementary School and the schools in the New Hartford Central School District. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
