Errick Road Elementary School

Summary:

Errick Road Elementary School is a public elementary school in North Tonawanda, New York, serving around 480 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District, which is ranked 375 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Errick Road Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with over 60% of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments. The school's performance is particularly strong across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, White students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's special education students have struggled somewhat, ranking around 1,200 out of 2,000 New York elementary schools in this category.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Spruce School and Seventy Ninth Street School, Errick Road Elementary School significantly outperforms these schools in academic performance, despite having a more homogeneous racial makeup with a higher percentage of White students. The school's consistent high performance, with a ranking between 129 and 446 out of over 2,200 New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, and its efficient use of resources, with a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, make it a model for other schools to emulate.

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.
