Academically, Madrid-Waddington Elementary School has shown mixed performance compared to the state and nearby schools. While the school performed better than the state average in 4th grade Math, with 74.47% proficiency (vs. 53.85% state), its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates were below the state averages in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 1302 out of 2439 New York elementary schools in 2022-2023 (rated 2 out of 5 stars) to 983 out of 2434 in 2021-2022 (rated 3 out of 5 stars), placing it in the middle to lower range of New York elementary schools.

The school's demographics and socioeconomic factors may play a role in its academic performance. Madrid-Waddington Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of White students (over 94%) compared to the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate, ranging from 32.05% to 43.43% over the past few years, suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income households, which research has shown can impact student achievement. These factors, along with the school's mixed academic performance, indicate that there are opportunities for Madrid-Waddington Elementary School to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing institutions within the Ogdensburg City School District, Brasher Falls Central School District, Massena Central School District, Canton Central School District, Potsdam Central School District, and Norwood-Norfolk Central School District.

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.
