Indian Lake Central School

Summary:

Indian Lake Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Indian Lake, NY, with 126 students and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 5.7. This high-performing school consistently outshines the state average in several key areas.

Indian Lake Central School boasts impressive graduation rates, ranging from 84.3% to 92.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Its dropout rates are also relatively low, ranging from 0% to 10% in recent years. The school's students excel on standardized tests, particularly in Math and Science, with 60% of 3rd graders proficient in Math compared to the state average of 53.93%. Additionally, the school's students perform exceptionally well on Regents exams, with proficiency rates often exceeding 70% and even reaching 100% in some subjects like Earth Science and Global History.

While Indian Lake Central School's academic achievements are noteworthy, it faces a challenge with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.4% to 37.8% in recent years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Minerva Central, Johnsburg Central, Long Lake Central, and Newcomb Central, Indian Lake Central School generally outperforms them on standardized test scores and Regents exam proficiency rates. However, the nearby schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area of strength for them. With its higher spending per student, ranging from $29,000 to $30,000, and a smaller student-teacher ratio of 5.7, Indian Lake Central School's academic success may be attributed to these factors.

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.
