Canaseraga School

Summary:

Canaseraga School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Canaseraga Central School District, with around 200 students located in Canaseraga, NY. The school has several strengths, including generally higher graduation rates than the state average, strong academic performance on state assessments, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Canaseraga School outperforms nearby schools like Belfast School, Fillmore Central School, Avoca Central School, and Arkport Central School on many state assessments, especially in the elementary and middle school grades. This may be due in part to Canaseraga School's higher per-student spending compared to the nearby schools. However, the school has seen an increase in free/reduced lunch recipients and struggles with higher chronic absenteeism rates, which are regional challenges.

While Canaseraga School's graduation rates are strong, its dropout rates have been more variable, suggesting an area for potential improvement. The school's focus on serving grades PK-12 as an alternative school may also provide unique challenges and opportunities compared to the more traditional nearby schools. Overall, Canaseraga School appears to be a strong-performing school within its region, with particular strengths in elementary and middle school academics, graduation rates, and resource allocation.

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.
