Maple Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Maple Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Middletown, New York, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 1,012 students. The school is part of the Middletown City School District, which is ranked 786 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Hill Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1513 and 2178 out of around 2,400 schools. The school has received a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments are significantly lower than the state averages and the Middletown City School District averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate at Maple Hill was 26.49%, compared to the state average of 43.68% and the district average of 30.45%. The school's performance in Science is also below the state and district averages, with a 5th-grade proficiency rate of 22.39% in 2023-2024.

Maple Hill Elementary School's performance on the New York State Assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than their White and English Language Learner (ELL) peers, but still lagging behind the state and district averages. The school's ranking for ELL students and students with special needs is particularly low, often in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is significantly higher than the state and district averages, and likely contributes to the school's overall academic challenges. Despite the school's increased per-student spending over the past few years, the student-teacher ratio of around 8.6-8.8 students per teacher is lower than the nearby schools, suggesting that the additional funding may not be translating into improved academic outcomes.

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.
