Onondaga Nation School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 2304 out of 2445 schools and a 0-star rating. The school significantly underperforms compared to the state and district averages on New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 37.5% in English Language Arts and 0% to 55.56% in Math. Onondaga Nation School's performance is particularly low for female, male, and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school performs relatively better for Native American students, ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools serving this population.

Interestingly, the nearby C. Grant Grimshaw School, which is also part of the Lafayette Central School District, performs better on state assessments and has a higher school ranking. This suggests that the challenges faced by Onondaga Nation School may be unique to the school itself, rather than the broader district. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the school's status as a Native American-serving institution, may contribute to the academic challenges faced by Onondaga Nation School. Addressing these socioeconomic and cultural factors could be crucial in improving 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.
