With 181 students, the school is located approximately 4 miles from Batavia, NY. While the Elba Central School District is ranked 544 out of 865 school districts in New York and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, Elba Junior-Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 108 out of 1,207 New York high schools in 2018-2019 (5 out of 5 stars) to 477 out of 1,242 in 2023-2024 (3 out of 5 stars).

While the school generally performs above the state average on New York State Assessments and Regents exams, it struggles in areas like 8th grade Math and Physics. The school's per-student spending has increased steadily, from $15,591 in 2019-2020 to $21,464 in 2022-2023, suggesting that it may have access to more resources and funding than some of the nearby schools.

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.
