A A Gates Elementary School

Summary:

A A Gates Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Port Byron, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 413. The school is part of the Port Byron Central School District, which is ranked 593 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While A A Gates Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is generally lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby higher-ranked schools like State Street Intermediate and Waterman Elementary. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-6th grade ELA proficiency rates ranged from 27.78% to 35.42%, compared to the state averages of 44.89% to 48.79%. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

The data reveals a stark contrast between the performance of A A Gates Elementary School and the higher-ranked schools in the surrounding area, such as State Street Intermediate and Waterman Elementary. These nearby schools have significantly higher academic proficiency rates, better SchoolDigger ratings, and more diverse student populations, in contrast to A A Gates Elementary School's higher percentage of white students and relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. To improve the school's performance, the Port Byron Central School District may need to explore targeted interventions, increased funding, and strategies to address the unique needs of the student population.

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.
