Dolgeville Elementary School

Summary:

Dolgeville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 426 students in grades PK-6 in Dolgeville, New York. The school is part of the Dolgeville Central School District, which is ranked 756 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dolgeville Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, consistently poor academic performance, a high percentage of students from low-income families, and declining school rankings. The school has an extremely homogeneous student population, with over 99% of students identifying as White, which is significantly higher than the racial diversity seen in the nearby schools like East Hill School and Frankfort-Schuyler Elementary School. Academically, Dolgeville Elementary consistently performs poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates in ELA and math well below the state and regional averages. In 2022-2023, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 7.14% to 17.24% across grades 3-6, compared to the state average of 44.89% to 48.79%. In math, proficiency rates ranged from 11.9% to 36.73%, also significantly lower than the state average of 48.07% to 53.85%.

The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 45.08% to 61.11%. Additionally, Dolgeville Elementary School spends $8,703 per student, which is lower than the spending at most nearby schools, which range from $10,742 to $19,219 per student. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and allocate additional resources to support student learning and improve 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.
