West Road/D'Aquannis Intermediate School

Summary:

West Road/D'Aquannis Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Arlington Central School District in Pleasant Valley, New York, with a student population of 309.

While the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than district and state averages, there are some notable differences. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing relatively better compared to their peers at the state level, while the school's White and multi-racial students perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 36.57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to nearby Overlook Primary School (24.88%) and Traver Road Primary School (25.69%).

Despite having a higher spending per student ($18,692) compared to nearby schools, West Road/D'Aquannis Intermediate School's academic performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top 50% of New York elementary schools in 2013-2014 to the bottom 40% in recent years. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and addressing the racial achievement gaps and implementing evidence-based strategies to support the academic growth of all students could be a focus area for the school and Arlington Central School District.

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.
