Gov George Clinton School

Summary:

Gov George Clinton School is an elementary school located in Poughkeepsie, New York, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 222 students. The school is part of the Poughkeepsie City School District, which is ranked 826 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Gov George Clinton School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms compared to the Poughkeepsie City School District and the state of New York in standardized test scores for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.93% of 3rd graders, 27.03% of 4th graders, and 18.42% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district scores of 23.31%, 25.51%, and 25.31%, respectively, and the state scores of 42.6%, 47.05%, and 43.68%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools.

When comparing Gov George Clinton School to other nearby schools within the Poughkeepsie City School District, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming. For instance, Warring Magnet Academy of Science and Technology, which is located just 0.7 miles away, consistently outperforms Gov George Clinton School in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. Despite the increased spending per student and the decreasing student-teacher ratio at Gov George Clinton School, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the past 10 years, remaining in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools.

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.
