Cincinnatus Elementary School

Summary:

Cincinnatus Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Cincinnatus Central School District in Cincinnatus, NY, with a student population of around 210. Despite its high per-student spending, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cincinnatus Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (97.14% in 2022-2023) compared to surrounding schools, which have more racial diversity. Academically, the school's students perform well below the state average on New York State Assessments in both English Language Arts and Math, with only 24% of 3rd graders and 30.77% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 44.89% and 48.79% respectively. In Math, only 20.83% of 3rd graders and 35.9% of 4th graders were proficient, compared to state averages of 53.68% and 53.85%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.42% to 57.14% over the past 3 years.

Interestingly, Cincinnatus Elementary School's academic performance lags significantly behind nearby schools, even those in the same or lower-ranked school districts. For example, Homer Intermediate School, which is part of the higher-ranked Homer Central School District, outperformed Cincinnatus Elementary across all grade levels and subject areas. Despite the high per-student spending at Cincinnatus Elementary, the school's academic outcomes are among the lowest in the state, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's poor performance.

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.
