Gouverneur Elementary School

Summary:

Gouverneur Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Gouverneur, New York, with a student population of 506. The school is part of the Gouverneur Central School District, which is ranked 718 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gouverneur Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking, with proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments significantly lower than the state averages, especially in math. For example, in 2022-2023, only 18.48% of 3rd graders and 28.92% of 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to the state averages of 53.68% and 53.85% respectively. The school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 62% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average and many of the nearby schools like Indian River Intermediate School, Theresa Primary School, and Harrisville Elementary School.

Gouverneur Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from being ranked around 1,500 out of 2,300+ elementary schools in 2013-2014 to being ranked 2,292 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, special education students, and low-socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom 20-25% of New York elementary schools. Despite spending more per student ($13,984 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, Gouverneur Elementary's academic outcomes do not seem to be improving, indicating that the school may be facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed.

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.
