Flanders Elementary School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools and the state average. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.01%) and consistently performs below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, only 18.52% of 3rd graders, 15.79% of 4th graders, and 6.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 44.89%, 48.79%, and 45.09%, respectively. Flanders Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with a ranking of 2277 out of 2439 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the high per-student spending of $21,723 in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average, Flanders Elementary School's academic performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1635 out of 2395 schools in 2017-2018 to 2277 out of 2439 schools in 2022-2023. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for significant interventions and improvements. While the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.8 in 2022-2023, the academic performance of the school's student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, all rank in the bottom 30-40% of New York elementary schools.

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.
