Craig Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Craig Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Greece Central School District in Rochester, NY, with 266 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 1445 out of 2445 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Craig Hill Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York state assessments, is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 33.98% to 44.71%, compared to the district's 29.09% to 36.22% and the state's 42.6% to 47.05%. In mathematics, Craig Hill's proficiency rates ranged from 38.61% to 55.95%, compared to the district's 33.82% to 46.69% and the state's 48.93% to 58.03%. The school's performance in science is also below the district and state, with a 5th-grade proficiency rate of 25.24% compared to the district's 23.66% and the state's 35%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for Hispanic students but struggles with the performance of Asian, African American, and special education students.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools, such as Longridge School and Buckman Heights Elementary School, its academic performance remains below district and state averages. This may suggest that the school is facing challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing its resources to drive student learning and achievement. The school's declining performance over time, variability in subgroup outcomes, and potential resource allocation challenges suggest the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to address the root causes of the school's underperformance.

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.
