Summary:

Cattaraugus-Little Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 334 students in grades PK-4 in Cattaraugus, NY. The school is part of the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Central School District, which is ranked 382 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cattaraugus-Little Valley Elementary School has consistently outperformed the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates for grades 3 and 4 over the past few years. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 55.56% compared to the state average of 42.6%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency rate was 67.21% compared to the state average of 58.03%. However, the school's male students and special education students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools for those subgroups.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, such as Forestville Elementary School and North Collins Elementary School, its academic performance is not significantly better than the surrounding districts. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation. When compared to other nearby elementary schools, Cattaraugus-Little Valley Elementary School generally performs better than schools in the Falconer and Springville-Griffith Institute districts, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Forestville, North Collins, Randolph, and Ellicottville districts.

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.
