Summary:

Ellenville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Ellenville, New York, part of the Ellenville Central School District. With 674 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ellenville Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below state averages in English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 30.21%, compared to the state average of 42.6%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency rate was 16.48%, compared to the state average of 58.03%. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.13% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic struggles. However, the school's program for English Language Learners is a relative strength, with the school ranking in the top 20% of New York elementary schools for this subgroup.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Walden Elementary School, Ostrander Elementary School, and Tri-Valley Elementary School, Ellenville Elementary School's academic performance is significantly lower. These nearby schools have higher proficiency rates and overall rankings from SchoolDigger. While Ellenville Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of $21,615, its student-teacher ratio of 14:1 is still higher than the nearby schools, suggesting that resources may need to be better targeted to support struggling students and address the socioeconomic factors impacting student achievement.

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.
