Guardino Elementary School

Summary:

Guardino Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Thousand Islands Central School District in Clayton, NY, with 293 students. The school has been consistently ranked in the middle range of New York elementary schools over the past decade, receiving 2-3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Guardino Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were lower than the Thousand Islands Central School District and the state of New York across most grade levels. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student groups, with female students generally outperforming male students, and special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing significantly worse than their peers.

When compared to other schools in the Thousand Islands Central School District and the surrounding area, Bashaw Elementary School consistently outperforms Guardino Elementary in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. The relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Guardino Elementary School, ranging from 37.1% to 44.37% over the past few years, may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional challenges in educational attainment.

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.
