Hendy Avenue School

Summary:

Hendy Avenue School is an elementary school in Elmira, New York, serving grades 3-6 with 403 students. The school consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant challenges related to academic performance, student demographics, and socioeconomic factors.

Hendy Avenue School's academic performance is well below state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 17.95% to 28.74% across grades 3-6, compared to the state average of 44.89% to 48.79%. Similarly, the school's Math proficiency rates ranged from 20.66% to 33.72%, compared to the state average of 48.07% to 53.85%. This consistent underperformance suggests the school may be facing systemic challenges in effectively educating its students.

Additionally, 66% of Hendy Avenue School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. These factors, combined with the school's low performance and ranking, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students. While the nearby Center Street School, Fassett Elementary School, and other Elmira City School District schools also perform below the state average, Hendy Avenue School consistently ranks lower, indicating it may be facing unique 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.
