The school is part of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District, which is ranked 660 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albertus W Becker School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 641 out of 2,386 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,566 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.67% to 41.38% in English Language Arts and 33.33% to 59.57% in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 43.68% and 53.93% to 48.93%, respectively. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Pieter B Coeymans School outperforms Albertus W Becker School in most grade levels and subject areas.

The school has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 38.97% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of around 50%. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic, White, and special education student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% to 35% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups in 2023-2024. Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, these resources do not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes, which raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and utilization.

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.
