Maryvale Intermediate School

Summary:

Maryvale Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District in Cheektowaga, NY. The school has 499 students, with a predominantly White student body (66.53%) and smaller percentages of African American (10.42%), Hispanic (10.02%), and Asian (7.01%) students.

Academically, Maryvale Intermediate School's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 37.33% to 44.44% across grades 3-5, compared to the state averages of 44.89% to 48.79%. In math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 48.55% to 53.08%, slightly below the state averages of 49.69% to 53.85%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students performing significantly better than African American and Hispanic students. Maryvale Intermediate School also struggles to support students with special needs and English Language Learners, ranking in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools for these subgroups.

When compared to nearby schools, Maryvale Intermediate School's academic performance is generally lower. For example, Smallwood Drive School in the Amherst Central School District, which is about 2.5 miles away, consistently outperforms Maryvale Intermediate School on state assessments, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher. Despite the school's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved student outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to closely examine its instructional practices, support systems, and equity initiatives to better serve its diverse student population.

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.
