Pratt Elementary School

Summary:

Pratt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Barker, NY, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 351 students. It is part of the Barker Central School District, which is ranked 319 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pratt Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Math are generally on par with or above the state and district levels, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are often below the state and district averages, particularly in the upper grades. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively low rankings for its White students and Special Education students, but better performance for its Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students. Pratt Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 622 out of 2,413 New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 (rated 4 stars) to 1,373 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023 (rated 2 stars), suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement.

When comparing Pratt Elementary School to the nearby schools in the Lockport City School District and Medina Central School District, it becomes evident that Pratt is generally performing better than these neighboring schools, particularly in Math. However, the nearby schools, such as George Southard Elementary and Roy Kelley Elementary, have shown stronger performance in ELA compared to Pratt. Additionally, Pratt Elementary School's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.38% to 52.96% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact student learning and achievement.

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.
