Herman Avenue Elementary School

Summary:

Herman Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Auburn, New York, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 444 students. The school is part of the Auburn City School District, which is ranked 752 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The analysis of Herman Avenue Elementary School's data reveals several areas of concern. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 15.25% to 44.07% across grades 3-6, while the state average was around 42-47%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American and White students, who ranked significantly lower than their peers statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.61% in 2020-2021 to 51.35% in 2022-2023, suggesting a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Herman Avenue Elementary School to other schools in the Auburn City School District, it performs similarly or worse in academic proficiency. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates were lower than those of William H Seward Elementary School and Owasco Elementary School. Interestingly, some schools outside the Auburn City School District, such as Andrew J Smith Elementary School in the Union Springs Central School District and State Street Intermediate School in the Skaneateles Central School District, significantly outperform Herman Avenue Elementary School in academic proficiency, despite being in the same general geographic region.

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.
