Jefferson Elementary School

Summary:

Jefferson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in New Rochelle, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a total enrollment of 478 students, the school is part of the New Rochelle City School District, which is ranked 469 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $27,129 in the 2022-2023 school year, Jefferson Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 18.67%, compared to 42.18% for the district and 42.6% for the state. The school also faces significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, with white students consistently outperforming their African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged peers.

Interestingly, the nearby Daniel Webster Elementary School, a public magnet school, consistently outperforms Jefferson Elementary in both ELA and Math proficiency across all grades. In the 2023-2024 school year, Daniel Webster's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 66.15%, compared to 18.67% at Jefferson Elementary. This suggests that the magnet school model may be more effective in supporting student achievement than the traditional public school model. Additionally, Jefferson Elementary's performance has been relatively stagnant or declining over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1427 out of 2345 schools in 2013-2014 to 1345 out of 2445 schools in 2023-2024.

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.
