FitzHugh Park Elementary School

Summary:

FitzHugh Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oswego, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 368. The school is part of the Oswego City School District, which is ranked 732 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

FitzHugh Park Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, placing it in the bottom 25% statewide. The school's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 17.02% compared to the state average of 44.89% and the district average of 29.75%. Additionally, FitzHugh Park Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.17% to 70.38% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools like Minetto Elementary and Leighton Elementary.

While FitzHugh Park Elementary School has the highest per-student spending among the nearby schools, ranging from $17,517 to $20,591 over the past 4 years, this does not translate to better academic outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Minetto Elementary and Leighton Elementary, have lower per-student spending but higher test scores and rankings. This suggests that factors such as socioeconomic status, access to resources, and community support may play a significant role in the school's academic performance, despite the high spending.

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.
