Northwood Elementary School consistently performs above the Hilton Central School District and New York state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Northwood's 6th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 59.18%, compared to the district's 43.53% and the state's 43.64%. Similarly, its 6th-grade Math proficiency rate was 69.7%, compared to the district's 62.88% and the state's 50.56%. However, Northwood's performance for Asian and Hispanic students is relatively lower, with rankings in the bottom half of New York elementary schools. The school also has a higher per-student spending compared to the state average, with $10,818 spent per student in the 2022-2023 school year, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4.

Compared to the other elementary schools in the Hilton Central School District, Northwood generally outperforms them in academic proficiency rates, particularly in ELA and Math. However, the nearby schools in the Greece Central School District, such as Paddy Hill Elementary and Pine Brook Elementary, have lower overall performance compared to Northwood, despite having higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as curriculum, teaching practices, and school leadership, may play a significant role in a school's academic performance.

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.
