East Coldenham Elementary School

Summary:

East Coldenham Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 295 students in grades K-5 in the Valley Central School District in Newburgh, New York. The school has a diverse student population, with 54.24% White, 35.25% Hispanic, 2.71% African American, 1.02% Asian, and 6.78% two or more races.

Despite its diverse student body, East Coldenham Elementary has struggled academically compared to the state and district averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were below the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade ELA, East Coldenham had a 40% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 45.09% and the district average of 33.33%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking of 1356 out of 2439 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

When compared to other elementary schools in the surrounding area, such as Walden Elementary and Berea Elementary, both of which are also part of the Valley Central School District, East Coldenham Elementary generally performs worse academically. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 47.12% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's academic performance, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address these challenges.

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.
