New York Elementary

Summary:

New York Elementary is a public elementary school in Lawrence, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 416 students.

While New York Elementary has some unique challenges compared to nearby schools, there are also areas where the school is performing well. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the Lawrence district and Kansas state averages, but the school's Mathematics proficiency rate is higher than the district and state. New York Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.9% to 56.73% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Langston Hughes Elementary and Quail Run Elementary. Despite the higher spending per student at New York Elementary, the school's academic performance is still lagging behind the nearby high-performing schools.

Comparing New York Elementary to the surrounding schools in the Lawrence district provides valuable insights. Langston Hughes Elementary and Quail Run Elementary consistently outperform New York Elementary in terms of test scores, state rankings, and overall school performance. The high percentage of students from low-income families at New York Elementary may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional challenges that can impact their educational outcomes.

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.
