Wampus School

Summary:

Wampus School is an exceptional elementary school located in Armonk, New York, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 494 students. As part of the highly-ranked Byram Hills Central School District, which is ranked 23rd out of 866 districts in New York, Wampus School consistently delivers outstanding academic results, outperforming both state and local averages.

Wampus School's academic performance is truly exceptional, with over 79% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 87% proficient or better in Math across grades 3-5 - significantly higher than the state averages of around 45% for ELA and 50% for Math. The school has been ranked among the top 100 elementary schools in New York for the past several years, reaching as high as 86th out of 2,345 schools in 2013-2014 and currently ranking 92nd out of 2,439 schools, placing it in the top 4% of elementary schools in the state. Wampus School also excels in the performance of various student subgroups, ranking 43rd out of 605 schools for Asian students, 91st out of 1,429 schools for Hispanic students, and 23rd out of 223 schools for multi-racial students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Coman Hill School in the same district and Roaring Brook School in the Chappaqua Central School District, Wampus School's performance is notably stronger. This may be attributed to the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $22,456 to $26,039 over the past four years, as well as its small student-teacher ratios of around 10.6 students per teacher. Additionally, the low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Wampus School, ranging from 3.44% to 4.78% over the past three years, suggests a relatively high socioeconomic status of the student population, which may also contribute to the school's academic 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.
