Midlakes Elementary School

Summary:

Midlakes Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Phelps-Clifton Springs Central School District in Clifton Springs, New York. With 787 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on New York State Assessments, ranking 1960 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midlakes Elementary School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from 14.84% to 44%, and in Math from 21.37% to 32.65%, well below the state averages. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Despite the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.5% to 50.06%, and an increase in spending per student from $9,295 in 2020-2021 to $13,029 in 2022-2023, the academic performance remains below state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Canandaigua Primary-Elementary School, which consistently outperforms Midlakes Elementary School on state assessments, the underperformance of Midlakes becomes even more evident. Additionally, the school's declining performance over the past several years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and the reduction in the number of SchoolDigger stars, suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and address potential equity concerns.

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.
