Unadilla Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Unadilla Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 465 students in grades PK-6 in the rural town of New Berlin, NY. The school consistently underperforms academically, with students scoring well below state averages on New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math. Unadilla Valley Elementary has ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools for several years and maintains a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

A key concern is the school's lack of diversity, with over 96% of students identifying as white, compared to nearby schools that have more racial and ethnic diversity. Unadilla Valley Elementary also struggles to support the academic achievement of vulnerable student subgroups, such as female students, male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. These students perform in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools, indicating the school may not be effectively meeting their needs.

When compared to nearby schools like Unadilla Elementary, Oxford Academy Primary, and schools in the Oneonta City School District, Unadilla Valley Elementary lags behind in academic performance, school rankings, student diversity, and per-student spending. These comparisons suggest the school faces unique challenges in providing a high-quality education and supporting the diverse needs of its student population.

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.
