Dolgeville Elementary School

Summary:

Dolgeville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Dolgeville, New York, with 426 students. The school is part of the Dolgeville Central School District, which is ranked 747 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dolgeville Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 17.65% compared to the state average of 42.6%, and its 3rd grade Math proficiency was 28% compared to the state average of 53.93%. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, and white students all in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools. Its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations also perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 15-20% of the state. Dolgeville Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 1069 out of 2395 schools in 2017-2018 (3 stars) to 2188 out of 2445 schools in 2023-2024 (1 star).

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Poland Elementary School, which is 16.4 miles away, Dolgeville Elementary School consistently underperforms in both ELA and Math proficiency across all grade levels. While Dolgeville Elementary School's spending per student is lower than some nearby schools, the differences are not dramatic, suggesting that funding alone is not the primary driver of the school's underperformance. The school's high poverty rates, ranging from 58.86% to 83.12% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

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.
