Summary:

Arcade Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 515 students in grades PK-4 in the Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District located in Arcade, New York. The school has seen a decline in academic performance in recent years, ranking 1768 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year.

Arcade Elementary School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students maintaining relatively strong performance but male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students performing much weaker, ranking in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math have been consistently below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates 5-15 percentage points lower. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students, around 45%, receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Parkdale Elementary School in the East Aurora Union Free School District, Arcade Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with proficiency rates that are 10-20 percentage points lower. The school's declining performance over the past several years, from the top 25% to the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools, is concerning and suggests the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the identified challenges.

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.
