Oxford Academy Primary School

Summary:

Oxford Academy Primary School is an elementary school located in Oxford, New York, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 288 students. The school is part of the Greene Central School District, which is ranked 581 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oxford Academy Primary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.67%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 88-97% white students, it consistently underperforms the state average and nearby schools in academic metrics. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency was 18.18% compared to the state average of 44.89%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency was 42.55% compared to the state average of 53.85%. Additionally, the school has been ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking between 1,186 and 2,122 out of over 2,400 schools.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, Oxford Academy Primary School serves a population with significant economic challenges, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of economic disadvantage may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles, which have seen a steady decline in proficiency rates over the past several years. Addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique demographic and resource factors affecting the school, especially in comparison to the stronger performance of nearby schools like Cincinnatus Elementary School, Sidney Elementary School, and Afton Elementary School.

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.
