Bemus Point Elementary School

Summary:

Bemus Point Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 283 students in grades PK-5 in the predominantly white community of Bemus Point, New York. The school consistently performs above the state average in math proficiency, but struggles with lower English Language Arts (ELA) scores compared to the state. With a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking between 873 and 1185 out of over 2,200 to 2,400 New York elementary schools, Bemus Point Elementary falls in the middle range of academic performance statewide.

One of the school's strengths is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 10.2 students per teacher, which is lower than nearby schools like those in the Jamestown City School District and Falconer Central School District. However, the school's predominantly white student population, over 95%, suggests a lack of racial diversity compared to more diverse nearby schools. Additionally, Bemus Point Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for male students and students from low-income families.

While Bemus Point Elementary School spends more per student, ranging from $11,676 to $13,686, than the state average, its academic ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 634 out of 2,345 New York elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1185 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may need to address areas for improvement to maintain its academic standing, particularly in ELA proficiency, to better serve all students and prepare them for future success.

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.
