Canaseraga School

Summary:

Canaseraga School is an alternative public school serving around 200 students in grades PK-12 in the rural town of Canaseraga, New York. The school has a predominantly White student population, with 94.5% of students identifying as White.

Canaseraga School has seen significant improvements in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 64.7% in 2018-2019 to 83.3% in 2022-2023, which is above the state average. However, the school has struggled with high dropout rates, ranging from 16.6% to 23.5% over the past five years, much higher than the state average and nearby schools. Academically, Canaseraga School generally outperforms the state average in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, but its performance varies across grade levels. The school has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 24.6% in 2021-2022 to 17.5% in 2022-2023, though this rate is still higher than the nearby Arkport Central School District, Avoca Central School District, Belfast Central School District, and Fillmore Central School District.

Despite the higher spending per student at Canaseraga School, which has increased from $16,572 in 2019-2020 to $22,007 in 2022-2023, the school's performance on some metrics, such as dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, is not significantly better than the nearby schools. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school's lack of diversity, with 94.5% of students identifying as White, may also be an area for the school to address. Overall, Canaseraga School has several areas of strength, such as its high test scores and improving graduation rates, but also faces challenges that will require a comprehensive approach to address.

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.
