Middleburgh Elementary School

Summary:

Middleburgh Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 344 students in grades PK-6 in Middleburgh, NY, which is part of the Middleburgh Central School District. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with test scores generally below state averages across grades and subjects, and a concerning trend of declining performance over the past few years.

One key issue is the significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups at Middleburgh Elementary School. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th grade special education students scored 0% proficient in ELA, compared to the 3-star rating for the school's overall 5th grade ELA performance. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.01% to 56.19% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Altamont Elementary School, Middleburgh Elementary School generally underperforms on state assessments.

Despite the higher spending per student at Middleburgh Elementary School, which has increased from $16,416 in 2019-2020 to $19,119 in 2022-2023, the school's academic performance remains below state averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and the school's leadership and the Middleburgh Central School District should closely examine the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted strategies to address them.

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.
