Deruyter Elementary consistently underperforms the state average on New York State Assessments, with only 34.78% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 43.48% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 42.6% and 53.93% respectively. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of NY elementary schools for female students, male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, Deruyter Elementary has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.51% to 49.68% over the past 3 years.

While Deruyter Elementary spends between $19,260 and $23,890 per student, which is higher than the state average, it lags behind many nearby elementary schools such as Homer Intermediate, McGraw Elementary, and Tully Elementary, which have higher test scores, lower free/reduced lunch rates, and better overall rankings. The school's declining performance over time and challenges in serving disadvantaged students suggest that the district and school leadership should prioritize implementing evidence-based strategies to improve educational outcomes for all students.

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.
