Middleburgh Elementary School

Summary:

Middleburgh Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Middleburgh, NY, part of the Schoharie Central School District. With 344 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9.5, the school faces several challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, below-average academic performance, and declining test scores.

Middleburgh Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.22%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Altamont Elementary and Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math 10-20 percentage points lower than the state average across grade levels. Middleburgh Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 30-40% statewide.

Despite having a higher per-student spending level ($19,119 in 2022-2023) than nearby schools, Middleburgh Elementary underperforms academically compared to its neighbors. Schools like Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary and Altamont Elementary, which have more diverse student populations and lower free/reduced lunch rates, outperform Middleburgh Elementary on state assessments. These factors, along with the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggest potential equity issues that warrant further investigation by the 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.
