Johnson City Elementary/Intermediate School

Summary:

Johnson City Elementary/Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Johnson City Central School District, with 490 students located in Johnson City, NY. However, the school faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing well below state averages on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects.

In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were as low as 26.32% in 3rd grade ELA and 19.15% in 5th grade Math, compared to New York state averages of 42.6% and 48.93%, respectively. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, and struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 25% of NY schools for Asian, African American, Hispanic, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students. With a high free/reduced lunch rate ranging from 58.78% to 66.94% over the past 3 years, the school faces additional challenges due to its high concentration of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Vestal Hills Elementary and Homer Brink School, Johnson City Elementary/Intermediate significantly underperforms, with much higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings at those schools. The declining performance of Johnson City Elementary/Intermediate over the past 10 years, coupled with its struggles to serve diverse student populations, suggest the need for comprehensive improvement strategies to better support student learning and achievement.

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.
