Sauquoit Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Sauquoit Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 347 students in grades K-4 in the Sauquoit Valley Central School District in Sauquoit, New York. The school consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency for grades 3 and 4, with 58.62% of 3rd graders and 55% of 4th graders meeting proficiency in ELA, and 64.41% of 3rd graders and 60% of 4th graders meeting proficiency in Math, compared to the state averages of 42.6% and 47.05% in ELA, and 53.93% and 58.03% in Math, respectively.

Sauquoit Valley Elementary School's performance generally outperforms nearby schools, particularly those in the Utica City School District, which have lower overall performance. For example, in 2023-2024, Sauquoit Valley Elementary School's 3rd grade ELA proficiency of 58.62% was significantly higher than the Utica City School District average of 21.17% and the Utica City School District's Watson Williams Elementary School's 23.08%. However, the school's performance is not as strong as the nearby New Hartford Central School District schools, such as Robert L. Bradley Elementary School, which had a 3rd grade ELA proficiency of 66.67% in 2023-2024.

While Sauquoit Valley Elementary School has maintained a consistent high performance, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are opportunities to address subgroup disparities, such as the lower performance of special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the overall school performance. Addressing these gaps could be an area of focus for the school and district to improve educational outcomes for all students.

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.
