Pashley Elementary School

Summary:

Pashley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Scotia, New York, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 462 students. It is part of the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central School District, which is ranked 121 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pashley Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25-30% of New York elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally higher than the state averages, but lower than the district averages. Pashley's male students generally perform better than female students, and the school's special education students perform better than the state average. However, the school's low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform significantly worse than the overall student population. Pashley Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of around $15,000 and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Pashley Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly lower than the other schools in the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central School District, such as Francis L. Stevens Elementary and Charlton Heights Elementary. However, Pashley's performance is significantly better than the schools in the Schenectady City School District, such as Yates Elementary and Jessie T. Zoller Elementary, which have much lower proficiency rates and overall rankings. This may be due to the fact that Pashley Elementary School serves a more affluent student population, with a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

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.
