Chambers School

Summary:

Chambers School is an elementary school located in Kingston, New York, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 323 students. It is part of the Kingston City School District, which is ranked 717 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chambers School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (40.56%) and African American (7.74%) students. Additionally, Chambers School has a high percentage of students (over 50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,020 in 2022-2023) compared to the state and district averages, the school's academic outcomes remain in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ernest C. Myer School, Robert R. Graves School, and E.R. Crosby Elementary School, generally perform better academically and have higher statewide rankings than Chambers School, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the high per-student spending at Chambers School may not be effectively addressing the unique challenges faced by the school community, and a more targeted and comprehensive approach may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

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.
