Donald P Sutherland School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 679 out of 2,445 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. However, the school's performance for white students and students with special needs is lower, ranking in the top 50% and top 55% of New York elementary schools, respectively. The school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is also lower, ranking in the top 50% of New York elementary schools.

The nearby Red Mill School and Citizen Edmond Genet School, which are also part of the East Greenbush Central School District, generally perform better than Donald P Sutherland School on state assessments, particularly in Math. However, Donald P Sutherland School outperforms some nearby schools outside the district, such as those in the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District, which have lower overall performance. The school's increased per-student spending over the years indicates a commitment to providing quality education, but it will be important to monitor how these resources are being utilized to improve student outcomes, particularly for underperforming subgroups.

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.
