Remsen Elementary School

Summary:

Remsen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Remsen Central School District in Remsen, NY. The school has 228 students and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with the district as a whole ranked 288 out of 865 districts in New York and also rated 3 stars.

Remsen Elementary School faces several challenges, including low academic performance, with proficiency rates below state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 25.81% compared to the state average of 42.6%, and its 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 27.59% compared to the state average of 53.93%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 50.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments varies significantly by student subgroup, with female, white, and low-income students performing particularly poorly.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $22,759 in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of around $15,000 per student, its academic outcomes remain below state averages. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to improve outcomes for all students. Interestingly, Remsen Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Deerfield Elementary in the Whitesboro Central School District and Ridge Mills Elementary in the Rome City School District, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings.

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.
