Ellis B Hyde Elementary School

Summary:

Ellis B Hyde Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dansville, New York, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 344 students. The school is part of the Dansville Central School District, which is ranked 567 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ellis B Hyde Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state average across all grade levels, with the largest gaps in 4th grade ELA (16.05% vs. 47.05%) and 4th grade Math (30.77% vs. 58.03%). The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who ranked in the bottom 10% to 25% of New York elementary schools. Despite spending more per student ($14,389 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, the school's academic outcomes have not improved.

When comparing Ellis B Hyde Elementary School to nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming relative to its peers. For example, Geneseo Elementary School, which is 17.58 miles away, outperformed Ellis B Hyde on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. Similarly, Honeoye Elementary School, 18.32 miles away, had significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, from 1,246 out of 2,345 New York elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,850 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state, which may be exacerbated by the high poverty rate of over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
