Edwards-Knox Elementary School

Summary:

Edwards-Knox Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Hermon, New York, with 294 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 9.6. The school is part of the Edwards-Knox Central School District, which is ranked 497 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,494 to $13,988 over the past few years, Edwards-Knox Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 13.16% to 39.29% in ELA and 13.79% to 40.74% in Math, while the state averages were 42.6% to 47.05% in ELA and 48.93% to 58.03% in Math. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, who ranked 2207 out of 2411 New York elementary schools, and white students, who ranked 1344 out of 1392 schools, both rated 0 or 1 star.

While the nearby schools, such as Clifton-Fine Elementary, Antwerp Primary, Gouverneur Elementary, and Harrisville Elementary, also have relatively low performance, Edwards-Knox Elementary generally ranks lower than these schools on state assessments and SchoolDigger rankings. The school's consistently low academic performance, particularly for certain student subgroups, and the disconnect between spending and outcomes, suggest that the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve student learning.

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.
