George Ross Mackenzie Elementary School

Summary:

George Ross Mackenzie Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Glen Spey, NY, with 242 students. The school is part of the Eldred Central School District, which is ranked 511 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has seen an increase in per-student spending, from $18,115 in 2019-2020 to $26,251 in 2021-2022, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from 13-65% across different grade levels, compared to the state averages of 37-58%. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined, from 1270 in 2013-2014 to 1612 in 2020-2021, suggesting a need for improvement. Interestingly, nearby schools like Maple Hill Elementary School and Emma C Chase School have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to George Ross Mackenzie.

Another area of concern is the significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at George Ross Mackenzie Elementary School. While female students perform better than male students, White students and students with special needs rank in the bottom quarter of the state. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds also perform below average. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has increased from 10 in 2022-2023 to 14.7 in 2020-2021, indicating a potential resource constraint that could be impacting the school's ability to provide personalized support and instruction to 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.
