Brocton Elementary School

Summary:

Brocton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Brocton Central School District, with 217 students. Despite its small size, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past decade.

Brocton Elementary faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty rates, and declining enrollment and funding. On the 2022-2023 state assessments, only 17.65% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.89%. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rates lag behind, with just 22.86% of 3rd graders and 41.94% of 4th graders meeting standards. This low performance is likely exacerbated by the school's high poverty rates, with 69.78% to 74.89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years. Despite these challenges, Brocton Elementary spends relatively little per student, ranging from $14,121 to $19,303 over the past four years.

Interestingly, Brocton Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to many surrounding schools, with a significant Hispanic population (17.51%) and small percentages of African American and Native American students. However, the school's performance varies greatly by subgroup, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but White students and students with disabilities performing poorly. Neighboring schools like Forestville Elementary and Chautauqua Lake Elementary significantly outperform Brocton Elementary, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher and lower poverty rates. This suggests that Brocton Elementary's academic performance is not keeping pace with other schools in the 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.
