George F Johnson Elementary School

Summary:

George F Johnson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Endicott, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Union-Endicott Central School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past decade and has a below-average 1- to 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, George F Johnson Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, and students with special needs, is particularly concerning, suggesting a need for targeted interventions. Interestingly, nearby schools in the Maine-Endwell Central School District and Vestal Central School District, such as Maine Memorial School and Vestal Hills Elementary School, consistently outperform George F Johnson Elementary School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings.

The school's challenges may be partly attributed to its relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 44.13% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these socioeconomic factors, as well as exploring best practices from higher-performing neighboring schools, could help George F Johnson Elementary School improve student outcomes and better serve the Endicott community.

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.
