Fillmore Central School

Summary:

Fillmore Central School is an alternative public school serving around 650 students in grades PK-12 in Fillmore, New York, which is part of the Fillmore Central School District. This school consistently outperforms the state average and nearby schools like Canaseraga School, Friendship Central School, Genesee Valley Central School, and Belfast School on key metrics such as graduation rates, test scores, and per-student spending.

Fillmore Central School has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.3% to 93.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Students at the school also generally perform better than the state average on New York State Assessments and Regents exams across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in 5th grade Math, 6th grade ELA, and Regents Algebra II. However, the school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.2% to 37.8%, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.

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.
