Morrisonville Elementary School

Summary:

Morrisonville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Saranac Central School District in Morrisonville, New York. With 358 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, earning a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Morrisonville Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York state assessments, is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 16.36% compared to the state average of 42.6% and the district average of 24.11%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for both female and male students, as well as for special education students and economically disadvantaged students. Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,654 to $16,206 over the past 4 years, and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has struggled to make meaningful improvements in student learning outcomes.

When comparing Morrisonville Elementary to other nearby schools in the Saranac Central School District and surrounding districts, such as Ausable Valley Central School District, Chazy Union Free School District, Beekmantown Central School District, Peru Central School District, and Plattsburgh City School District, Morrisonville consistently underperforms academically, with many of these nearby schools having significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments, especially in math and ELA. The school's high poverty rate, with 31.48% to 33.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

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.
