Marie Curie Institute Of Engineering And Communication

Summary:

Marie Curie Institute Of Engineering And Communication is a public magnet elementary school in Amsterdam, NY, serving 443 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Amsterdam City School District, which is ranked 795 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science below the state averages. While African American and Hispanic students perform better than their White peers, the school's performance for English Language Learners is particularly low, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools in this subgroup. With around 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that likely contribute to its academic struggles.

Interestingly, nearby schools in other districts, such as Charlton Heights Elementary School and Glendaal School, have significantly higher academic performance and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending and relatively high student-teacher ratio suggest that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student achievement, and the school may need to explore ways to optimize the use of its resources and provide more individualized attention to 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.
